About the DS3800HSGG

The DS3800HSGG was developed by General Electric (GE) as a part of the Speedtronic Mark IV system of turbine control. Mark IV is sometimes called MKIV. The MKIV series is one portion of the Mark series. Both steam and gas turbine operations are managed by the Mark system. Turbine processes are automated by the Mark systems. They are tasked with the control of fuels between the system’s speed and load control parameters. The MKIV controls the shutdown and cooldown functions, controls temperature, controls automatic startup and controls steam and water injection. The Mark IV is in charge of protecting both people who operate the systems and the equipment from operating under dangerous conditions. The Mark IV system has built-in diagnostics. Repairing and troubleshooting the turbines are made much easier with these diagnostics. The Mark systems have been in use for turbine control since the late 1960s, when the very first Mark system, Mark I, was created.  These systems were based on processes which can be traced all the way back to the 1940s. Newly available technologies which were introduced over the years helped to develop these processes. The Mark IV system resulted from years of learning and refinement which came about over four (4) decades of operational successes. All of the requirements of turbine control and other auxiliary functions were addressed by the Mark IV system. Technologies which were state of the art when they were developed were used by the Mark IV. The Mark IV has a communicator, which communicates between the operator interface and the turbine control.
