MD&A IBECS® – The Integrated Solution to Power Plant Control and Monitoring
Presentation Synopsis
MD&A will present our proprietary IBECS® system which provides a state of the art integrated solution for power plant monitoring. IBECS® is an HMI/SCADA system that integrates with many different platforms and provide a single place to control and monitor the entire powertrain and selected BOP.
Key Takeaways for Users
- A single hardware platform can be used as an HMI, Historian, Remote monitoring unit, and BOP system integration device
- Modern communications protocols ensure that various systems can be brought to one monitoring location with a minimal of infrastructure
- With the multitude of diagnostic software platforms available in the marketplace today, integrating data with sub second accuracy and synchronized time stamps greatly enhances unit monitoring and planning capabilities
Presenter
Mike Broggi, General Manager of Control Systems
Mike Broggi has 28+ years of experience in the power industry in turbine maintenance, controls and excitation, power plant installation and commissioning. He began his career as a Field Engineer with General Electric and progressed through various assignments in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the US. Trained in GE MKI-MKV turbine controls and various GE excitation systems, his primary technical expertise is with MKIV-MKVI turbine controls systems, and mechanical aspects of all GE Frame gas turbines and GE medium steam turbines. He has worked extensively with Dry Low NOx systems and all aspects of combined cycle operation including single shaft gas and steam configurations. He also has significant experience in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle operation.
Some of his notable assignments were:
- Power island site manager – Sarlux, Italy 575 MW IGCC plant, 1st private, commercially viable IGCC plant globally.
- GE site manager – Moss Landing, CA 1,060MW CC expansion.
- Site manager and controls engineer – Fife Power, Scotland 109 MW IGCC plant.
- Lead controls & commissioning engineer, Essar Power – India’s 1st IPP, unit retrofit for naphtha fuel operation.
- GE site manager – Calpine Los Medanos 510 MW, POWER 2003 Top Plant.
- Lead field engineer – Tambak Lorok project, Indonesia 530 MW combined cycle power plant.
- Lead field engineer – Kelenfold project, first combined cycle plant in Hungary.
In 2001 Mike relocated to Minden, NV to manage manufacturing and testing of Bently Nevada and GE Control and Excitation systems. He was responsible for all aspects of supply chain for GE Controls and Excitation retrofits and Bently projects and managed facilities in Nevada, Colorado, Hungary, Bahrain, Singapore and Brazil. He was directly responsible for execution of up to $350MM in projects annually, and executed individual projects in excess of $10MM.
In 2010 Mike joined MD&A as operations manager for the Control Systems Division. Since joining MD&A, Mike has overseen sales and execution of all the projects of the division, as well as manages the controls and excitation resources of MD&A. The CSD division provides parts and services for retrofits, consulting services, and maintenance services relating to turbine control and excitation equipment.
