Turbomachinery Control

Turbomachinery Control (TMC) combines the control and protection of critical rotating equipment such as turbines and compressors in a single solution. Control and protection functions work together in a coordinated manner to enable stable operation under changing process conditions while protecting machinery from damage.

Optimise the Control of Turbomachinery

The speed and operating conditions of turbines and compressors are precisely controlled and adapted to changing process requirements. This enables machinery to operate reliably within its defined operating limits while complying with the SIL 3 standard. The module ensures consistent speed monitoring and reacts to changes within 20 ms.

Protect the Entire Turbomachinery Train

In critical situations such as overspeed, overload or process deviations, automatic protection and shutdown functions ensure a rapid response. With HIMA TMC, the entire turbomachinery train can be incorporated into the protection concept.

Detect Irregularities at an Early Stage

Key machinery and process parameters are continuously monitored. This enables changes and unusual behaviour to be identified at an early stage and taken into account when assessing machine condition. From the flow rate calculation, to the setpoint specification: With standardized function blocks from HIMA applications you can commission your plants more quickly – and reduce costs.

Control, Monitoring and Protection from a Single Source

Turbomachinery Control systems are typically integrated with both the Process Control System and the Safety Instrumented System (SIS). This enables coordinated control and protection while maintaining a clear separation of safety-critical functions.

With the HIMA TMC Application, turbomachinery can be centrally monitored, controlled and operated. The solution combines the flexible HIMax platform with the SILworX engineering tool for the configuration, programming and diagnostics of turbines and compressors.

Efficient Steam Turbine Operation

Safely Operate Closer to the Economic Optimum

HIMA TMC combines turbomachinery expertise with integrated control and protection. The combined solution supports operators in running their turbines closer to the economic optimum while remaining within validated operating and protection limits.
Depending on the application, this can help reduce avoidable energy losses, improve plant performance and lower operating costs without compromising safety, availability or cybersecurity.
