Emerson has acquired Pittsburgh-based Turbine Control Service Associates Inc., an independent provider of generator excitation control systems for power plants. The acquisition “expands the breadth and depth of Emerson Process Management’s product portfolio for the global power generation market,” the company said.

Turbine Control Service Associates upgrades power plant control systems to take advantage of new, more reliable technology. The company’s ‘Digital Generator Controller system’ currently controls generation of thousands of MWs of nuclear, fossil and hydroelectric power.

“Our organisations share a common vision and passion for providing world-class turbine-generator control solutions to the power generation industry,” said Steve Sonnenberg, president, Emerson Process Management.

“This is an excellent fit for us,” said Tom Kallay, Turbine Control Service Associates president. “We look forward to new growth opportunities as we leverage Emerson’s global project, marketing and technology resources.”

Emerson is a leading control system supplier for the global power generation industry. Power plants using Emerson's control technology represent approximately 725 GW of the world’s total generating capacity.
