Common Problems with Hydraulic Actuators in Heavy Duty Gas Turbines
›Hydraulic fluid viscosity dependent on ambient
temperatures - leads to slower response times in
cold temperatures - resulting in failed starts
›Fluid varnishing can lead to clogged servovalve
passages resulting in failed starts or stops
›Potential of high pressure hydraulic leaks pose safety risks
›Premature seal failure - noise on hydraulic control
circuits can lead to premature wear on hydraulic
and gas seals
›No actuator/valve data to predict failure in advance of outages

Reliability and Availability
Heavy Duty Gas Turbines have increasingly been dispatched to support
the grid during renewable energy transition. These market conditions
drive fleet owners to operate their assets as peakers, creating the need
for frequent starts. Start-up reliability has become a key success factor
for these units.
Benefits of Electric
›Elimination of hydraulic fluid and associated problems
with contamination, cold weather and leakage
›Higher reliability design inherent to electric actuation
significantly increase maintenance intervals
› Improved control response and precision
›OEM Qualified and included with the majority of new
Gas Turbines
›Compliant with NERC standards for cold weather
preparedness
›Service Tool provides enhanced diagnostics for plant
personnel and early indication of performance issues
at the DCS operator terminal
Easy to Install
›Most valves are drop in replacements and do not
require piping modifications
›Servovalve Interface option allows the installer to
use existing signal wiring from the control system
›Alternate communication options for control system
integration are available such as CAN Bus and Analog
I/O for maximum flexibility
›Electric actuators are paired with a remote Digital
Valve Positioner (DVP) that controls the actuator
operation and serves as the customer interface for
power/signal wiring and digital communications.
Multiple DVP’s can be packaged within a stainless
steel cabinet and prewired from the factory to greatly
reduce commissioning time
