The adoption of the functional safety standards continues to gain momentum in turbine applications. Both industrial and power turbine sites are now requiring compliance to IEC 61511. This webinar will review both technical requirements and market trends related to functional safety and turbines. Technical topics will include best practices related to the functional safety process and a review of safety system design. Market trends will cover which standards are required by region, turbine size, and industry.
