Siemens has been awarded a contract by Colbún to upgrade the 368 MW Nehuenco-I CCGT plant in Chile with its web-based T3000 Cue (SPPA-T3000) I&C system.
Siemens has been awarded a contract by Colbún to upgrade the 368 MW Nehuenco-I CCGT plant in Chile with its web-based T3000 Cue (SPPA-T3000) I&C system.
The new controls will improve plant operation and reliability as they are specifically designed to implement total power plant and turbine controls on a common, easy- to-use platform.
Siemens says SPPA-T3000 Cue can be integrated seamlessly into existing IT landscapes, independent of the original OEM. With cyber security of vital importance, the SPPA-T3000 Cue uses a secure java-enabled interface, where authorised users can gain access securely at virtually any time from virtually any location.
Also included in the contract is the migration of Simatic S5-based controls used for plant systems such as the auxiliary boiler, post firing, and the diverter damper. These were standalone systems connected to the previous SPPA-T2000 system but now have their controls fully integrated into SPPA-T3000 Cue.
