Turbo generator plant upgrades to electric actuators
raring power station in New South Wales, Australia has upgraded pneumatic actuators for seal air dampers at 28 coal mills with the latest electric actuation technology. The new devices are from AUMA and the company says their advantages include enhanced control, easier set-up and improved DCS interface. The commission is the latest installation of the actuators at Australia’s largest power station – more than 400 AUMA actuators have been adopted in all plant areas: applications include on-off, inching/positioning and modulating duty. Represented locally by its subsidiary
Barron GJM, the scope of work also included producing tailor-made pedestals for the existing foot mounted gearboxes, which enabled straightforward replacement in the allocated outage period. Key benefits of AUMA’s devices include seamless integration into all commonly used power plant control systems using reliable communication interfaces.

actuation solutions to the power sector for more than fifty years. Key benefits include seamless integration into all commonly used power plant control systems using reliable communication interfaces. AUMA actuators are qualified for safety-
