A Fossil engineered DCS System for Nova Scotia Power's Tufts Cove plant

Fossil Power Systems Inc. (FPS) is pleased to announce that we have been awarded the contract to supply the FPS engineered DCS Controls for the new Water Treatment Plant and the Balance of Plant (BOP) controls, that are both associated with the new combustion gas turbine that is being installed at Nova Scotia Power’s Tufts Cove Generating facility in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

Fossil will provide their own FPS Graphical User Interface HMI, and engineer the Siemens-Moore APACS+ DCS hardware, to not only perform the control, but also provide a supervisory control interface to the new GE Turbine Controls. This interface will be used for display, monitoring and archiving of all aspects of the operation of this new 47.3mW Gas Turbine.

Nova Scotia Power expects the new turbine to be on-line by May 2003.
