A coal company purchased an idled coal plant. When review of the existing controls revealed severe deficiencies, the asked WBA to quote a complete plant upgrade.
WBA developed a new control system to interface with their existing Motor Control Center (MCC) and existing plant equipment. Due to the existing plant personnel experience with GE controls, the control system was designed around a GE plc and GE Operator Screens. Redundant Screens allow the operator to view the status of both Dry Processing and Wet Processing at the same time while providing the capability to run the whole plant with only one screen should one fail.
WBA generated complete schematics, programmed the HMI’s and PLC and started up the system with the support of plant personnel.
