Florida utility upgrades peaking generators.

Project Overview
The old equipment was unreliable with deteriorating wiring dating back to 1961. GCS worked within tight time constraints to replace old equipment with modern, state-of-the-art products. Utilizing Woodward's Atlas and EGCP-3 with Remote I/O and HMI monitoring screens, installations were completed in stages of two engines each time to meet budget requirements and to work around impending hurricane seasons.
