Diagnostic and monitoring systems: higher safety, higher productivity<br />
The generation of electrical power with turbine generator sets is optimized for reliability of supply and effi ciency. To realize this, it is<br />
necessary to know the precise status of the turbine generator set and to record and evaluate deviations from its normal operating<br />
characteristics.<br />
<strong>Siempelkamp</strong> has developed STUDIS, a stationary turbine generator diagnostic system for the diagnosis and early recognition of faults<br />
as a pre-requisite for preventative maintenance based on condition. Based on the values from a monitoring system, deviations from<br />
the normal characteristics and possible malfunctions are recognized and <strong>report</strong>ed.<br />
In addition to the primary tasks of evaluating the condition, early recognition of faults and fault analysis, the system supports the<br />
operator in ensuring optimum operation of the equipment monitored, avoiding undesired operating states and allowing reliable and<br />
economical operation. STUDIS is not intended to replace experts, but to make their work more effective. The early recognition of hot<br />
spots on bearings, alignment errors, atypical component behavior, changes and damages to blades and gearboxes as well as shafts<br />
and bearings is possible.<br />
<strong>2009</strong>: sales successes for our stationary turbine generator<br />
diagnostic systems<br />
In <strong>2009</strong> six new turbine generator diagnostic systems started<br />
operation in different coal-fi red power stations. We were also<br />
able to increase the number of maintenance contracts in this<br />
area. Meanwhile, a total of 60 turbine generator diagnostic<br />
systems and more than 100 rotating components are monitored<br />
online and supported by us. Our developments in the area of<br />
blade vibrations in <strong>2009</strong> are very pleasing. Here, we received<br />
three new orders from the coal-fi red power plants Niederaußem F,<br />
Neurath E and the nuclear power plant Phillipsburg. Furthermore,<br />
after extensive negotiations, we succeeded in receiving the orders<br />
for the monitoring of the turbosets for two coal-fi red power plant<br />
units in Eemshaven, Netherlands, and for two coal-fi red power<br />
plant units in Westphalia, Germany, in late <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
