SG Energy Solutions supported advanced electrical and controls upgrades at Fort Saint Vrain Generating Co., contributing expertise to a hot gas path and I&C modernization effort. The project required disciplined execution under unique site conditions and accelerated outage coordination to support updated turbine systems.
Scope of Work
SG Energy’s role focused on electrical engineering and controls integration tied to a hot gas path upgrade with a DLN 2.6+ package. Work included installation of the CDM system (Generation Mark VI-e), Op-flex auto-tune package, electronic fuel valves, and Hazardous Gas (HAZ-GAS) panels.
Additional electrical tasks included relocating and installing auxiliary panels and controller components, welding conduit supports, building new probe holders, and running sensor cabling to junction boxes.
Challenges
Minimal onsite support from customer personnel was available at the outage start due to COVID-19 constraints, requiring SG Energy teams to adapt quickly. This shift demanded flexible planning and real-time coordination to maintain execution quality when typical staffing support was not present.
Solutions
Drawing on prior turbine and control upgrade experience, SG Energy took a lead technical role in the comprehensive electrical and control systems scope. The team provided structured sequencing, thorough documentation, and adaptive execution to ensure all systems, from hazardous gas panels to sensors and controllers, were installed and integrated with minimal disruption to the outage timeline.
