Description
Flexible configuration
Si-TEC (Smart Integrated Turbine & Engine Control) is the world’s only digi- User-friendly tuning
tal governor fully integrated with an automatic synchroniser and kW/kVAr software (PC tune)
control, and was developed by Dawson Technology Pty Ltd in 1991, which
now operates under the name of Heinzmann Australia Pty Ltd as part of Extensive system
the HEINZMANN Group. diagnostics
With more than 4000 systems now in operation throughout Australia, Asia Optional I/O expansion
& internationally, the Si-TEC Xtend control Provides a further enhancement
of this already successful product.
Designed for use with all sizes of generator, the Si-TEC Xtend can be used
for Islanded or Co-generation on a wide range of steam turbines including
condensing, backpressure and controlled–extraction applications.
