Terry Turbine Overspeed Test Device (TTOD)

Using an electric motor with a variable speed drive, we bring the turbine to trip speed while monitoring RPM and mechanical trip linkage.  Precise speed and acceleration control provides unbeatable repeatability.  Since no steam is required, AFW and RCIC testing can be removed from critical path.  First 465HP Worthington turbine tested successfully in May 2008.  First Japanese RCIC overspeed test performed in June 2008.

Turbine Controls Test Device (TCTD)

Building on the success of the ILD Terry Turbine Over-speed Device™, ILD has built the next generation of scalable turbine controls testing equipment, the Turbine Controls Test Device™ (TCTD).  The TCTD incorporates ILD's patented technology to allow larger auxiliary turbines, such as HPCI turbines, to be over-speed tested without steam.

Best Estimate Power Monitor

Inform the plant staff to the extent of any overpower or underpower conditions which exist during routine, “full power” operations.  The analysis is performed utilizing a statistical method often referred to as “best estimate” analysis.  This method has been recognized by ASME, and appears in the Power Test Codes.  The method uses as many different independent parameters as possible that can be correlated to reactor power.  The independence of these measurements minimizes the uncertainty of the aggregate result, which can be much lower than the uncertainty of any of the individual measured parameters.
