TYPICAL OVATION AND WDPF PROJECTS 

OVATION - Nuclear Facility Control System Replacement, Sweden 

Project recognized as the first complete control system replacement at a nuclear power plant and the largest ever 

controls upgrade in the industry. Ready provided teams responsible for improving, implementing, and tracking 

commissioning procedures, managed multiple troubleshooting teams, provided technical instrumentation and DCS 

support to commissioning teams, and provided commissioning and start-up project management and support. 

Using our commissioning experience, Ready quickly identified opportunities to increase efficiency, decrease 

bottlenecks, improve procedures and develop project tracking and controls. Ready provided the project team with 

expertise in the commissioning process and proactively identified project risks, proposed complete solutions, and 

provided short and long-term resources to implement these solutions. 

OVATION - Coal Power Plants, USA 

Ready provides ongoing support for the Ovation system combined with process and management expertise. Ready 

has overseen the logic migration from old control systems to modern DCS, PLC, and historian systems. Ready 

participates in hardware specifications, hardware and logic design reviews, factory acceptance tests, and 

performance and acceptance tests. As Commissioning Manager Ready has managed the development, execution, 

tracking, and acceptance of commissioning procedures for several control system projects. 

OVATION - Cogen Facilities, USA 

Ready has managed and executed Ovation DCS logic changes for cogeneration facilities consisting of 4 GE 

LM6000’s with a single MHI 80MW steam turbine. Ready designed and coordinated moving Turbine Control Board 

and Turbine Control Board functionality into the DCS. Ready also added hardware, logic, graphics, and 3rd party 

connections for operation of a power plant from a remote location in a nearby power plant control room. 

OVATION - 3rd Party Gas Turbine Process Improvement – Integration of 3rd Party Controls Systems – Multiple Sites. 

Ready integrates the DCS with third party control systems used to optimize GE Frame 7E turbines. Ready 

configures communication interfaces between the balance of plant Ovation DCS, turbine control system, and third 

party control system. Ready is responsible for Ovation DCS logic and operator graphic changes. When completed, 

the system seamlessly integrates with the existing plant control systems and historian. 

WDPF - Siemens Westinghouse 501DA Turbine, Ecuador 

WDPF support and start up of an SW 501DA power barge. Ready performed start up commissioning, 

instrumentation troubleshooting, and WDPF modifications and tuned the unit to operate 10 -15 MW above 

maximum load achievable before maintenance. Provided customized training to site personnel. 

WDPF - GE Frame 5 Turbines, Angola, 

Technical lead for commissioning and start up of GE Frame 5 turbines. Managed and performed changes to 

WDPF DCS including Logic, hardware, database, and HMI configuration and troubleshooting. Provided 

instrumentation and field support as required for start up of the unit. Provided customized training to site personnel. 

WDPF - Siemens SGT6-5000F (W501F), USA 

Provided WDPF support for installation of water wash skids on Siemens SGT6-5000F turbines. Logic, hardware, 

database, and HMI configuration and troubleshooting.
