Argenta attend EVI-GTI Conference hosted by the IET

At the beginning of November The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) hosted the 7th EVI-GTI International Gas Turbine Instrumentation Conference and Workshop in London. This was the first time that the IET were hosting the event but it is an annual conference for those working within the Gas Turbine Instrumentation sector and is well attended each year. The conference was created in ‘response to a need for a focal point and greater coherence in the [Gas Turbine Instrumentation] sector’ (IET, 2015).

It was the first time attending for Chris Woodhams, Managing Director at Argenta, and he was suitably impressed with the variety of speakers and presentations. One which was of particular interest was delivered by Ifeanyi Azolibe and Euan McGookin, from the University of Glasgow, an overview of research conducted around automated testing. Another, by Radoslaw Przysowa, from the Instytut Techniczny Wojsk Lotniczych, focused on data management. Both were of importance and relevance due to them being areas which are of particular focus in the work Argenta is involved in with their clients.

There was a session at the end of the conference that gave the audience an opportunity to hear about and discuss gas turbine instrumentation standards. Chris commented that this drew his attention as the focus on standardisation is key to the success of implementing data acquisition and testing solutions within the sector.

Chris would recommend attendance at the next event based on his experience, not only due to the quality of the presentations but also the opportunity to network.
