SPPA-R3000 for Power and
Industrial Gas Turbines
Standard Solutions
Siemens Energy Instrumentation,
Controls & Electrical has implemented an
innovative solution for modernizing gas
turbines that can be integrated into a
customer’s current or future plant system
using a scalable, standard, proven
platform. Upgrading to our SPPA-R3000
turbine control system can help you
generate true long-term benefits for
operations, maintenance and service of
your gas turbines. The SPPA-R3000 is a
cost-effective, high-performance,
modular solution that can provide
enhancement in system reliability and
capability. The SPPA-R3000 can be
implemented at a low cost based upon
the plant’s configuration and the
customer’s requirement.
The redundant high availability system
allows for on-line maintenance,
diagnostics and automatic testing, thus
minimizing costly downtime. The HMI
system features an easy to use graphical
interface for all plant personnel including
operators and maintenance.
Comprehensive mechanical
modernization packages are available to
complement the SPPA-R3000 system.The
system can be used in both power and
industrial applications.
Various mechanical upgrades can be
implemented with the control upgrades
or added later on.
