Maintenance and sustainabilityExcitation Care has the flexibility to meet the maintenance and budget requirements of plants with very different needs. Some plants may have 15 or 25 years of production left and be committed to life-cycle management. Others may have only 2 or 3 years of life remaining and be running on a ‘fix it only when it breaks’ basis. Excitation care provides you with fast and reliable support in emergency cases.

Performance and reliabilitySome power generators want to maximize output, others want to ensure reliability. Excitation Care delivers on both fronts by helping you get the most out of your plant, people and process. Through performance review we help you identify which parts are most at risk or which categories of staff are most in need of skills improvement. By testing the behavior of the excitation regulation loops with their limiters and tuning the parameters, we ensure that the excitation system is reacting properly to unexpected grid situations.

Operational improvementExcitation Care includes solutions for the optimi-zation of the plant’s operation. These range from continuous monitoring of the excitation system and other critical equipment to identifying the first signs of equipment degradation or deteriorating plant performance. Through our Power System Stabilizer (PSS) services we make an active contri-bution to the network stability.

System life cycleExcitation system thrive on life cycle management and long-term service plans that evolve the system in small, incremental steps. Regular scheduled up-dates enable the excitation system to run optimally and keep up-to-date with the latest technologies and functionalities. This takes the guessing out of cost control and brings budget stability and predictability.

Protect your asset by investing in reliability.

ABB has created a performance review program targeted to increase the reliability of your assets. This results in maintaining all the elements suf-fering from aging effects. This program ensures the correct and save operation of the system by testing all critical protection devices and system settings in various operating conditions. We will identify possible improvements to increase the overall performance of your system such as upgrades or modernization of equipment.

The performance review program is offered in all phases of the life cycle. Keeping the failure rate of components at a minimum will lead to less unexpec-ted downtime and therefore increase your revenues.

We have the ability to define an optimal operation strategy based on the result of the performance review and by considering the status of the life cycle of your assets.

—Key benefits Increasing reliability of your assets• Ensure the correct and safe operation

of your system• Minimizing the risk exposure of unexpected

downtime• Identifying possible system improvements• Life time extension of the equipment

—Excitation Care

Improving the overall stability of your grid through ABBs Power System Stabilizer.

The increasing amount of distributed generation of intermittent nature installed in power systems and the tendency to operate power grids closer to their stability limits result in the increased risk of instabilities in the power systems.

Thus the grid authorities and system operators all around the world tighten their rules and regula-tions (grid-codes) for connecting generation stations to their grids. ABB excitation systems are equipped with power system stabilizer functionality helping you fulfill these stringent requirements by damping out active power oscillations between the generator and the grid.
