CASE STUDY
TransAlta

At their power station in Centralia,

Pennsylvania, USA, TransAlta initially
requested a PPV upgrade on their
No. 2 exciter, with highly beneficial
results in air quality and considerable
life extension to the unit. The benefits
of the upgrade to their No. 2 exciter
soon resulted in a request for a PPV
upgrade on their No. 1 unit.
This typically demonstrates the trend that
BRUSH have observed, whereby clients
have a PPV upgrade performed on one

and then have the same process carried
out on multiple units. Recently, NIPSCO
