Turbines and their associated equipment have long been a focus of safety and safety protection functions driven by the risks to personnel and damage to equipment. Now the international safety standards are being applied in addition to local standards and requirements. Meeting IEC 61511 requires a new perspective on turbine safety systems and presents both challenges and opportunities for turbine owners. This webinar provides a review of the IEC 61511 standard and highlights its impact on turbine safety systems.
Attendees of the webinar will:
• Learn how IEC 61511 impacts turbine safety systems
• Develop an understanding of how implementing IEC 61511 can be used to show compliance with safety regulations
• Examine strategies to effectively implement the requirements of the standard
