U.S.-Compliant Operation
Not every turbine is suitable for conversion. NYTS does not present conversion as a generic solution. Each opportunity must be reviewed based on turbine model, generator configuration, gearbox requirements, controls, electrical systems, balance-of-plant interfaces, OEM considerations, code requirements and project economics.
Conversion Support May Include
- Technical feasibility study
- Generator replacement or modification evaluation
- Gearbox assessment
- Control system evaluation
- Electrical engineering review
- Balance-of-plant integration
- U.S. code and standards review
- OEM or third-party engineering coordination
- Cost and schedule assessment
- Commissioning planning
Expanding the universe of viable equipment
50 Hz and 60 Hz equipment expertise allows NYTS to evaluate a wider range of technical solutions for clients. For North American projects, 60 Hz compatibility is essential. Where technically feasible, conversion can expand the universe of potential equipment options while maintaining a disciplined engineering and compliance review process.
