The mechanical hydraulic control (MHC) and mechanical hydraulic protection (MHP) systems for the Brown Boveri 1300 MW turbines at Rockport Units 1 & 2 were designed in the late 1960s – early 1970s as part of the original turbine contract. Exceptional performance of the MHC and MHP systems continued through the new millennium, but a concern for future support and service for obsolete components led AEP to investigate newer electro hydraulic technology.
