The world of legal responsibility, liability, and safety is driving the industry to have rotating machinery built to a various number of standards. It is often difficult to navigate through the multitudes of standards developed by the different industries and global associations. The scope of the paper will focus on the global industry standards for low and medium voltage rotating machinery and show how to navigate through their provisions in order to determine the applicable requirements for areas of performance such as: efficiency, vibration, sound, temperature rise, winding insulation, electrical installation, and test requirements. Furthermore, the paper will specify hazardous location needs as well as construction requirements that incorporate terminal box volumes, mounting arrangements, physical dimensions, nameplate markings, shaft, and frame design requirements.","PeriodicalId":191070,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"736 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116081523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It will first present a new approach to detect motor abnormal temperature rise which is possible due to degradation of the cooling system. This new functionality will compare expected motor temperature at a certain load current with an actual temperature obtained from RTDs, and is applicable to all motors thus equipped. Specific data is presented for the applicability of this monitoring technique to breathing versus enclosed motors. Significant deviation between expected and actual motor temperature rise values are an indication that the motor cooling system is not working properly and maintenance is required. This essentially means condition-based assessments of motor cooling versus routine, time-based motor cleaning. Secondly this paper will present other useful information, which can be obtained from modern digital relays, including learned data and trending of the motor starting currents and time, frequency and causes of the motor stops, increase/decrease of the load and unbalance over time, emergency restarts, motor operating temperature trending and many others.","PeriodicalId":191070,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129953532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper discusses the most common contributing factors of medium and high voltage induction and synchronous motor failures in the petrochemical industry. These contributing factors include; design flaws, manufacturing defects, incorrect selection of motor enclosures, maintenance issues and motor protection. This paper will help end users understand the importance of the mechanisms that lead to critical motor failure and maintenance practices designed to help keep equipment in optimum condition.

The strategy behind this technique is to supply the simplest load model possible that gives sufficiently accurate results for the goals of each unique modeling effort. The paper identifies the frequency characteristics of several different load types. It also identifies the level of load model detail required for testing typical power management systems, contingency-based load-shedding systems, frequency-based load-shedding systems, governor control systems, island/grid/unit autosynchronization systems, and exciter control systems. The paper describes how to lump loads without loss of fidelity, when an induction motor needs to be modeled as a single-cage or double-cage motor model, what sort of mechanical load model is appropriate, when we can assume zero inertia for a direct-on-line type of load, and how to verify the turbine/generator inertia and load inertia from field tests. This paper concludes with a simple reference that engineers can use to specify the level of detail required when modeling industrial power system loads.","PeriodicalId":191070,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"269 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123412377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The U.S. government is putting in place programs and laws such as NERC [12] and FERC [13] to ensure that these critical infrastructures have monitoring solutions. Traditional monitoring methods require measurements of preselected points and sometimes can only be done once a while. The proposed method is to use a thermography camera to remotely measure temperatures. A camera can provide 24/7 monitoring and understanding of equipment performance over time. This information allows for scheduled maintenance and shut down. A temperature failure point can also be spotted and measured remotely without someone on site. This paper describes the thermal characterization and calibration process developed to turn a standard long wave infrared (LWIR) camera into a thermography camera. Thermography camera is capable of reading absolute temperatures remotely from the image. The factors which can affect temperature accuracy and methods developed to mitigate these factors are also described in this paper. The lab and field test results showed temperature accuracy was achieved by customer requirements. This solution has been chosen by Norwegian electrical substations, and its case study is included.","PeriodicalId":191070,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"302 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121465407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
