Functional Description

IC3600SBMB1B is a Bus Monitor Card manufactured by GE Fanuc in the series of Mark II used in gas turbine control systems. As part of the second-generation Mark Series, this card plays a vital role in monitoring data communication and bus signals essential for synchronized turbine operations. The Mark II system was a significant technological leap in gas turbine automation, designed not only for core control functions but also to support a wide array of operational enhancements and application-specific requirements.

Functionality and Application Flexibility

• Fuel System Flexibility: Compatibility with multiple fuel combinations (e.g., gas, liquid, dual-fuel systems), allowing operational adaptability based on availability or cost-efficiency.
• Black Start Capability: Enables the turbine to start independently without relying on external power, making it a critical feature in emergency and off-grid scenarios.
• Remote Operation: The system can be operated and monitored from remote control stations, enhancing safety and efficiency in distributed plant environments.
• Deadload Pickup: Provides smooth transition and power handling during sudden load application, maintaining system stability and performance.
• Variable Airflow Control: Adjusts air intake dynamically for applications involving exhaust heat recovery, significantly improving part-load efficiency and overall thermal performance.

Environmental Compliance and Emission Control

• Water or Steam Injection: Helps reduce NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) emissions during combustion. These systems are especially useful in regulatory environments with strict emission control requirements.
• Monitoring and Recording: An integrated data logging system ensures operational compliance with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards. This allows for transparent reporting and auditing of turbine emissions and performance.

Advanced Control Features and Enhancements

• Fast Start & Fast Load: Reduces downtime by rapidly bringing the turbine online and loading it efficiently.
• Automatic Load Control: Maintains consistent turbine output by automatically adjusting fuel flow and other control parameters based on load demand.
• Power Augmentation: Enhances output capacity through methods such as inlet air chilling or evaporative cooling.
• Inlet Heating: Improves startup performance and combustion stability in colder environments by pre-heating intake air.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is GE Fanuc IC3600SBMB1B?
It is a Bus Monitor Card used in gas turbine control systems.

What is a black start, and why is it important?
Black start allows a gas turbine to start without an external power source. This feature is essential in emergencies or isolated grid conditions where normal startup power is unavailable.

What is deadload pickup?
Deadload pickup is a control feature that enables the turbine to handle sudden load applications without instability or performance issues for maintaining system reliability during abrupt demand changes.

How does the system handle part-load performance?
Using variable air flow control, such as adjusting inlet guide vanes or airflow pathways, the system improves efficiency when the turbine is running at less than full load, especially in applications involving exhaust heat recovery.
