Therefore, monitoring the electrical quantities from a synchronous motor's or generator's rotor, and transmitting this data via wireless communication is highly desirable for monitoring operating conditions and preventing critical failures. Analysis of rotor operation that was previously derived from assumptions and deductions based on measurements external to the machine can now be confirmed with this new technology. This paper discusses the use of this technology to transfer data collected on the rotor of an electrical rotating machine via wireless telemetry, demonstrating how crucial and efficient this technology is for event analysis in large synchronous motors for industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":191070,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"146 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":"132834496","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}

Rotors are made up of stacked parts and a copper or aluminum cage material that is casted, welded or brazed and shrunk fit on a shaft which may also have welded arms. This built-up construction of different materials with different thermal reactions affects rotor motion in a complicated manner at different speeds and thermal loading conditions. Since motors are the primary source of rotational motion in a typical drive train, high vibration will usually be evaluated on the motor first before moving onto the rest of the drive train components. Unfortunately other components cannot be tested alone to identify if they are the source of the problem. This often results in losing valuable commissioning or operating time. Vibration identifications can be started by using readily available diagnostic tables. Problems can occur when the process of identification goes beyond the capability of the tables to provide a clear answer. This paper discusses case studies on vibration diagnostics of electric motors, where a wider scope of the drive train and its support must be considered in order to arrive at the correct diagnosis. Particular emphasis is given to the identification of the original problem and cause of the vibration issue.","PeriodicalId":191070,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"1 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":"130732449","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}

These pumping stations are approximately every 30 miles between Houston, Texas and Linden, New Jersey. The installation of low impedance bus differential protection reduced the tripping time for bus faults and reduced arc flash incident energy levels. Motor protection relays were installed to protect the motor and collect actual data to assist in troubleshooting, measurement of pump efficiency, pre-motor failure notification and aid in operation controls. A remote measurement and control architecture enabled transformer protection using fiber optic communications which reduced current transformer saturation. Digital monitoring equipment with command capability was installed to access all protective relays operational data and trip resets could be performed from outside the arc flash boundary. This paper will discuss the lessons learned during design, installation and operation. The lessons learned aided the pipeline throughout the design, installation and operation phases of the project.","PeriodicalId":191070,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"88 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":"133179020","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 development of digital motor bus transfer systems with data recording capabilities provided a means of recording transfer data and provides key insight into what happens during actual transfers.

Additionally, the DOE is studying pump, fan and compressor systems and how the efficiency can be regulated. We will provide an overview of the DOE proposals and the new European standard for efficient drive systems in case any users wish to follow and become involved with comments.

In the oil and gas industry, high speed motors directly coupled to centrifugal compressors are also filling the need for more megawatts at higher speeds. In applications with demanding structure and space limitations, the smaller motors are the driver of choice when compared to turbines or conventional two pole motors with speed increasing gears. Motor manufacturers have developed specifically designed motors for these and other demanding applications instead of using higher-speed 2 pole or 4 pole standard motors. For the discussed application reliable and optimized motor designs, especially the motor frame, rotor-bearing, enclosure, bearing shields and cooling, are designed to meet stringent vibration and noise requirements, which are defined in specifications such as API, IEC and ISO. This paper discusses design and testing of 3750 kW induction motor with oil film bearings at a speed range of 3880-5300 rpm to replace an existing steam turbine in an United States refinery.","PeriodicalId":191070,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132243629","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 will first describe bus differential protection principles as well as interlocking principles for overcurrent protection. It will discuss specific issues in applying differential protection in LV systems. It will present a concept of partial differential protection, which can be used in conjunction with Zone-Selective-Interlocking (ZSI), or as backup to traditional overcurrent protection to achieve high-speed and selective fault clearance.
