“…The advantages of electronic controls in terms of accuracy and adaptability to various differing requirements have been recognized for a long time [8]. Among the available control systems [9], the electronic control currently offers the highest reliability and adaptability, and can easily and rapidly be tailored for any arising situation or parameter change [10,11]. An automated electronic control system (AECS) was designed, built, installed and tested together with the ST40 engine to replace the old propulsion system.…”

Gas turbines used in propulsion ensure increased efficiency and safety, with a very good power / weight ratio and with low maintenance and operation costs. Due to becoming out-of-date and reaching the maximum operation hours and expected lifetime, which can cause malfunctioning, older turbine engines on frigates need to be replaced with newer generation propulsion engines. The paper presents the replacement of the turbine engine on a defence frigate, focusing on the automation and electronic control solution employed for a propulsion turbine, integrating state-of-the-art techniques. The electronic system ensures control, monitoring and alarm functions, including overspeed protection. A local control panel interfacing the PLC displays the operating parameters and engine controls, also providing maintenance and calibration sequences. The proposed solution enables both the local and the remote control of the ship’s gas turbine.
