DESCRIPTION:[]\n\nInstalling modern controls on a vintage machine enhances 
 reliability and control while\nkeeping costs significantly lower than a fu
 ll replacement. Increased opportunities to\nretrofit vintage steam turbine
  control systems are expected with the growing demand for\nelectricity in 
 the US. These multifaceted projects include engineering\, electrical\,\nwe
 lding\, machining\, and mechanical work. The projects can be challenging b
 ecause\ndesign details cannot be finalized until the machines are disassem
 bled. This\npresentation will begin with a general overview of a vintage s
 team turbine control\nsystem retrofit that took place earlier this year. W
 e will also discuss some technical\nproblems faced during the project\, an
 d solutions that were implemented.\n\nSpeaker(s): Mike Hovious\, \n\nAgend
