MEGATROL

the power package for starting gas

turbines and exciting the generator

Designing a drive system involves selecting and matching the motor and the

drive to satisfy requirements determined by the load, the supply system, the

ambient conditions and the process.

Open control system

ABB offers an open communication strategy, enabling

connection to higher-level process controllers. UNITROL 6800

and MEGADRIVE-LCI can be provided with all major fieldbus

adapters for smooth integration, monitoring and controlling of

different processes, according to customer requirements.

MEGATROL CS (Cross Start)

MEGATROL CS is a special application solution for multiple gas

turbine startups. Up to six generators with their related

excitation systems and three MEGADRIVE-LCI frequency

converters are connected together via Start-up Selection

Boards (SSB). MEGATROL CS is able to automatically control the

SSB isconnectors, select an available frequency converter for

start-up and support all required communication channels

during start-up. The selection of the MEGADRIVE-LCI can be

preconfigured manually.

Surprisingly compact solution

The merged functionality of MEGATROL enables a compact

mechanical design with the possibility to place the equipment

in one container. For gas turbine stations it is particularly

advantageous to get converter and excitation mounted and

cabled in a common container.

Key benefits

Cross Start (CS)

• Economic solution where one MEGADRIVE-LCI starts

multiple generators

• High availability thanks to fully redundant starter solution

• High reliability through patented self-organizing control

network with distributed intelligence

• Network self-heals automatically after the replacement of

defective device

• Scalable and expandable solution
