Functional Description

IC3600SCBA1A is a Turbine Control Board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark I and II control system. These control systems were groundbreaking in their design, offering robust, reliable solutions for gas turbine operation and protection.

System Features

• The Mark I and II control architecture was intentionally designed to be versatile and scalable, making it suitable for a wide range of applications across GE’s gas turbine product line — from smaller units like the LM2500 to large industrial models such as the MS9001. Standardized options and modular features allowed the control systems to adapt easily to various operational needs, including:
  • Remote, unattended utility peaking gas turbines: providing quick-start capabilities for peak demand periods.
  • Base-loaded industrial generator drives: ensuring continuous, reliable power supply for industrial operations.
  • Remote pipeline pumping stations: maintaining critical infrastructure in often harsh and unattended environments.
• A fundamental element of the Mark I and II control systems, is the basic gas turbine protective system. This system is engineered to detect abnormal operating conditions early and initiate a safe shutdown of the turbine to prevent damage and ensure personnel safety.
• This protection is achieved using separate, redundant shutdown devices, providing multiple layers of safety assurance. The core protective functions integrated into the system include:
  • Overspeed protection: preventing mechanical damage due to excessive turbine speeds.
  • Overtemperature protection: safeguarding against thermal damage to critical components.
  • Lube oil pressure and temperature monitoring: ensuring adequate lubrication and cooling of moving parts.
  • Loss of flame detection: identifying combustion instability or failure to maintain safe operation.
  • Vibration monitoring: detecting mechanical issues that could lead to equipment failure.
• Additionally, depending on specific operational requirements, the system can be equipped with optional protective functions such as:
  • Combustion system malfunction detection
  • Compressor stall detection
  • Fire detection and suppression
