Description
The comprehensive process and safety integrity level control is essential in both the power and manufacturing sectors. This singular tool caters to all power applications, such as excitation, power conversion, static start, and processing. It is engineered for enhanced productivity, featuring user-friendly options like drag-and-drop functionality, many-to-one configurations, and logic-to-HMI editing. GE's sophisticated ControlST software suite serves as the backbone for the Mark* VIe Control System, applicable to a diverse array of functions, including control, safety integrity level management, monitoring, and protection of assets ranging from turbine-generators to complete plants in various sectors such as thermal, oil and gas, wind, and solar energy. By merging the optimal features of rotating machinery control with balance-of-plant management, the ControlST software suite provides versatile tools that utilize a unified time-coherent dataset, thereby streamlining operations and minimizing lifecycle expenses. Furthermore, it incorporates the latest advancements in model-based control technology, informed by GE’s thermodynamic design models, ensuring exceptional performance, enhanced operability, and unwavering reliability throughout its application. Ultimately, this integration not only boosts efficiency but also paves the way for future innovations in energy management.
Description
OpenFAST is a publicly accessible wind turbine simulation software created by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). It enhances the earlier FAST v8 code, merging elements of aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, control mechanisms, and structural dynamics to facilitate detailed, coupled nonlinear aero-hydro-servo-elastic time-domain simulations of wind turbines. The tool accommodates various setups, such as onshore, fixed-bottom offshore, and floating offshore turbines. Designed to cultivate an open source developer community among research institutions, industry players, and academic circles, OpenFAST offers a comprehensive software engineering framework that includes well-structured source code, automated testing processes, and compatibility across multiple platforms. Significant updates from FAST v8.16 to OpenFAST feature the creation of a new GitHub repository that centralizes modules, glue codes, and compiling utilities; a revised versioning system; and the implementation of unit testing at the subroutine level. This evolution not only improves functionality but also enhances collaboration opportunities among users and developers involved in wind energy research.
