Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis (MD&A) recently completed an overhaul at a combined cycle plant consisting of gas and steam turbine majors, a steam turbine generator minor inspection, and a gas turbine generator major inspection. The customer combined scope was the largest single project implemented at the site since the combined cycle plant was commissioned. MD&A sent all 3 rotors from […]

Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis’ Control Systems Division (MD&A Control Systems) replaced an industrial co-gen turbine’s original mechanical-hydraulic (MHC) controls with an electronic governor, electro-hydraulic trip system and self-contained control valve actuator. The primary drivers for the project were the operator’s desire to increase the long-term maintainability and reliability by replacing the MHC components that had […]

Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis (MD&A) recently performed multiyear outages for a customer on several different units in Colombia. First unit:  This was a major outage and generator test & inspection. In addition, this unit was retrofitted with a new rotor, bearings, and steam path components that required machining, including installing and fitting new nozzles. MD&A […]
