Emerson’s Automation Solutions Power and Water project organization includes a dedicated team

focused on mechanical solutions and services that improve equipment operation, performance and

reliability for fossil, combined cycle, simple cycle, hydro, renewable or nuclear power generators.   

Emerson’s mechanical solutions group provides a complete range of capabilities — everything from full 

conversion of older, low-pressure, mechanical governor controls to installation of modern, high-pressure

hydraulic controls, trip system upgrades, electronic overspeed protection and mechanical bolt

replacement to simple LVDT, servo valve, speed sensing and vibration monitoring system replacements.  

The team can act as a Main Automation Contractor (MAC-EPC) to manage a project with full-scope

mechanical and electrical installation and commissioning services. 

In addition to the team’s extensive experience designing, fabricating and testing both complete hydraulic

and electric actuator systems for large steam turbines, they have also completed hundreds of feed-pump

turbine control modernizations, turbine protection system upgrades and enhancements, hydro turbine

mechanical-to electronic governor conversions and hydraulic actuator rebuilds.
