Mechanical Dynamics and Analysis (MD&A) was contracted after a forced outage to perform a major overhaul on a cogeneration unit\u2019s MS5001PA gas turbine, and to remove, test and inspect the generator field. Because the unit dispatches as baseload and the turbine is a critical asset, MD&A was asked to complete the repair work as quickly as possible. MD&A met the customer\u2019s expedited schedule, enabling the unit to quickly return to service.<\/p>\n

Because the nature of the forced outage was not fully known when the job was awarded, the scope of work initially was incomplete. Despite the uncertainties, MD&A’s experienced technical team quickly evaluated the damage and designed a comprehensive scope of work.<\/p>\n

As part of its work, MD&A’s gas turbine maintenance team both opened and closed the gas turbine. In addition, the team removed the original rotor and shipped it off-site for refurbishment and high-speed balance.<\/p>\n

As well, MD&A removed the generator field<\/a> and sent it to our St. Louis facility for a complete test and inspection, and high-speed balance before being returned to site.<\/p>\n
