Typically, in offshore platforms, small reciprocating engine generators supply essential loads. At times, it may be necessary to energize a large transformer from these generators. Transformer energization draws high magnetizing current from the generators for several seconds and can have an adverse effect on the system voltage. This paper describes the voltage sag analysis of the energization of...
Life cycle management (LCM) combines a set of technical and economic activities with the specific goal of improving the long-term economic value of an asset. An LCM plan helps to make operational decisions for a component over its life cycle. It typically consists of preventive maintenance scheduling, condition monitoring, inspection activities, replacement or refurbishment planning, and spares management...
Reliability evaluation of distribution networks under grid-tied and islanded microgrid modes is presented. The Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) algorithm is applied to a modified RBTS Bus 2 distribution network. The network includes three types of distributed energy resources, namely, solar photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine (WT), and diesel turbine generator (DTG). These distributed generators contribute...
A process to develop life cycle management (LCM) plans for power plant components is described. An LCM plan is a guide to make operational decision for a piece of equipment over its life cycle. An LCM typically consists of preventive maintenance schedule, condition monitoring and inspection activities, replacement or refurbishment plans and spares management. It is developed on the basis of component...
The process to develop a life cycle management plan for turbine driven auxiliary feed water (AFW) pump is described. Life cycle management (LCM) is the integration of ageing/obsolescence management with economic planning to optimize the operation, maintenance and service life of the equipment, maintain an acceptable level of performance, safety, reliability and to enhance the return on investment...
