As a starting point, API 541 recommends a partial discharge (PD) level of 100 pC (pico-Coulombs) for sacrificial stator coils measured with an IEC 60270 compliant instrument. The recommended PD level is subject to discussion between the purchaser and the manufacturer until more data are available. This paper provides PD data from on sacrificial coils and stator windings to support discussions on PD acceptance criteria. Three instruments were used for PD tests on resin-rich, press-cured sacrificial coils in laboratory conditions controlled to minimize noise, and in the typical environment of a factory acceptance test (FAT). These coils were then tested daily for a week, with identical measurement conditions of noise, time of day, operator and instrument. Also included are examples of offline PD data from two complete stator windings. The first was a new winding, tested in the factory on two different days. The second was an aged winding tested using the same methods but in different locations. Instrument selection, testing location, elapsed time between measurements and insulation system construction can influence offline PD measurements. The current evidence suggests that statistical distributions drawn from similar test conditions are more applicable than specific PD limits.","PeriodicalId":191070,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"3 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":"124541758","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}

An unreliable trace heating system can impact the business significantly by damaging the process fluids/piping and potentially causing lost production. Controlling and monitoring the performance of trace heating is thus important to ensure the processes are running as desired. This paper focuses on the advances made by the trace heating industry in the control and monitoring technologies to improve the reliability of trace heating systems as well as to reduce their total installed costs. A real world case study example is used to illustrate the reduction in total installed costs using control and monitoring capabilities.","PeriodicalId":191070,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"46 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":"126718277","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}

Schiazza, Peter Megna","doi":"10.1109/PCICON.2015.7435093","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PCICON.2015.7435093","url":null,"abstract":"In the area of passive arc flash protection, as applied in low-voltage electrical equipment and tested to ANSI/IEEE C37.20.7-2007, IEEE Guide for Testing Metal-Enclosed Switchgear Rated Up to 38 kV for Internal Arcing Faults [1], a commonly used approach could be called \"contain and direct\". Arcing energy is contained by creating a reinforced, burn-through and leak-resistant shell used in combination with a pressure evacuation system. Limited attempts are made to reduce the duration of the arcing event. This approach, while successful, has the disadvantage of creating substantial damage to the equipment in question and potentially creating a significant quantity of toxic exhausted material. An alternate approach would be to reliably limit the fault duration and hence directly reduce damage and exhaust. What is proposed is that with a new design approach, a reliable shortening of the fault duration as well as reduction in short circuit current level can be obtained. This approach also has an additional benefit in that the likelihood of an arcing fault occurring is reduced as is the incident energy.","PeriodicalId":191070,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"50 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":"132577077","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}

One example is electrical submersible pumps used for oil and gas production. Additionally, ESPs are being used in wells with increasingly more expensive intervention costs and high productivity. As intervention costs increase, the necessity for longer downhole equipment life also increases. Go/No-Go tests such as hipot, surge test, insulation resistance and winding resistance are good to evaluate the actual (at the factory) condition or integrity of the equipment but they inadequately address long-term aging issues associated with the motor. The use of Partial Discharge testing for hostile environment motors, particularly in factory acceptance tests, may give users and manufacturers additional insight into the quality of construction of the motor and potential life shortening discrepancies in the winding insulation. Additionally, due to the construction of the motors.","PeriodicalId":191070,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"9 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":"126495497","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}

{"title":"Application of classification rules to hybrid marine electrical propulsion plants","authors":"M. Roa","doi":"10.1109/PCICON.2015.7435118","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PCICON.2015.7435118","url":null,"abstract":"With the advent of advanced power electronics converters, energy storage devices, and alternative fuel technologies on marine vessels, hybrid electric propulsion plants are becoming a more common alternative for vessel owners seeking ways to improve electric plant efficiency, reduce emissions (both noise and pollution), and improve safety in emergency egress and blackout recovery situations. Hybrid marine electric propulsion plants offer flexible usage alternatives to traditional electrical plant configurations to allow vessel operators more options for optimizing the electrical plant configuration to best service the required load profile during different modes of plant operation. Additionally, just as they have in other transportation industries, the efficiency of marine electrical plants can be dramatically improved to save on fuel costs, and air pollution emissions can be significantly reduced to comply with the new stringent MARPOL Annex VI pollution regulations required in environmentally sensitive areas. Lastly, hybrid electric plants using stored energy as a backup for the main power sources allow vessel operators to enhance safety in response to emergency scenarios where all main power is lost, or in situations such as explosive natural gas buildups where internal combustion engines/other rotating machinery may not be able to be operated safely. Applying traditional rules and regulations for sizing of these types of electrical plants requires some special considerations with regard to the interpretation of the sizing criteria for main power sources as they apply to stored energy devices. Traditional methods of determining the minimum size and quantity of main electrical power sources must be tailored to include the non-spinning reserve provided by hybrid electrical plants in the form of energy storage. This paper will provide background information on the development of hybrid electric plant designs, discuss the advantages of this emerging technology, explain the different types of hybrid plants currently available, describe typical applications where hybrid electric plants are used, provide examples of how the current ABS Rules are applied to hybrid electrical plants, and suggest future possible rule changes to better, more directly address these types of power plants.","PeriodicalId":191070,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"22 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":"133155362","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}

In the United States the National Electrical Code (NEC) 500 Article, American Petroleum Institute (API) 14F and 14FZ provides guidance for safe electrical working in hazardous locations. No matter what standard, regulation, directive or code of practice is in place in a particular region of the world, an explosive atmosphere will ignite in the presence of an incendive spark. This paper considers the development of competency validation for these staff in the aftermath of the North Sea Piper Alpha offshore disaster in 1988, how the concept of measuring competency was developed, achieved and integrated into major users training matrix for staff worldwide. Furthering these developments have given rise to a safety chain approach, that identifies and then continuously improves the weakest link in the electrical competency chain and promotes that Competency Validation can be achieved by utilizing a certification body that is accredited to the International Standard Organization ISO/IEC 17024: 2012 - Conformity Assessment - General Requirements for bodies offering Certification of Persons, as this allows an internationally accepted uniform approach for major users in the oil, gas and chemical sectors.","PeriodicalId":191070,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"7 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":"117014094","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}
