The following represents some of the retrofit type projects Source California has performed.

Overall project management for the installation of a $74 million NOx emission reduction retrofit project involving major boiler draft system renovations, ID fan additions, electrical upgrades and the installation of a SCR system complete with ammonia storage, handling, and injection systems. Included management of engineering design, procurement, installation and commissioning for two 750 MW supercritical gas-fired units in Moss Landing. (NOx Emission Reduction Retrofit Project translated in Chinese).

Overall project management services for the installation of a $60 million seawater cooling system for the new combined cycle power plant at Moss Landing, Units 8 and 9 (1,100 MW total)

Condition assessment of the Circulating Water Systems on Unit Nos. 6-7 at the Moss Landing Power Plant. This study included compiling available documentation, interviewing operations, maintenance and engineering personnel, assessing the current state condition, identifying the scope of repair and replacement, prioritizing work activities, and estimating costs. An assessment was made of the circulating water system, screen wash system, chlorinating system, and lube water system. The multi-disciplinary review and assessment included civil structures, cathodic protection, mechanical equipment, instruments and electrical components.

Developed the engineering standards for Duke Energy-North America. This effort involved compiling over 4,000 engineering documents, reviewing them for technical accuracy, updating standards with the latest requirements, organizing documents in a useful format, scanning and digitizing data, and developing several multi-disciplinary volumes of standards in hard copy format, as well as on CD format. These standards are used to support future capital improvements and to ensure consistency with existing plant design.

Boiler Controls Replacement Projects at Morro Bay Power Plant. This project replaced Units 3 and 4 (each unit rated at 330 MWs) old and obsolete pneumatic controls with state-of-the-art Bailey Infi-90 Distributed Control Systems. The Bailey controls are solid state, digital based (e.g., multi-tasking, parallel processors) which allow precise control of the power plant's thermal systems. Implementation of the new controls resulted in improved reliability and heat rate.

Turbine Controls Replacement Projects at Morro Bay Power Plant. These projects were implemented in parallel with the Boiler Controls projects. As with the Boiler Controls Replacement projects, the turbine controls were also modernized using Bailey's Infi-90 Distributed Control System. In addition, the controls on the turbines were upgraded to Digital Electro Hydraulic (DEH) operating systems. The project's implementation resulted in a reduction in control valve throttling losses and increased control of the turbine-generator sets which resulted in better response to grid demands and a net gain of plant MW output.

Bailey 721 replacement project performed at Moss Landing Power Plant's Units 6 and 7. A major portion of the plant's existing controls (Bailey 721 system) were replaced with Westinghouse's DCS to enable faster ramp rates and lower load operation of the supercritical boilers. Also supported factory acceptance testing of the DCS.
