- Principle: because converting the crude oil feedstock into commercial products implies reliable electrical power supply
- Process: management of the vital functions of the electrical power distribution:
- request to start & synchronization of Diesel Generator
- management of motors restarting:
- automatic re-acceleration by steps, in case of short power cuts
- unitary or by configurable groups (group loads)
- transfer of sources at adequate level:
- automatic transfer, on loss of a half busbar
- manual transfer, on operator request
- automatic fast & slow loadshedding by steps, depending on:
- capacity of production of the different available sources
- current power consumption
- nature of consumers (essentials, super-essentials)
- under frequency, tripping of power generation...
- Our solution: automation architecture in order to ensure electrical power availability under any circumstances
- keeping uninterrupted the power distribution
- monitoring & controlling the electrical source capacities
- analyzing constantly the power consumption
- handling & recording with accuracy the meaningful events
- reducing the energy costs (system & production losses)
- Our technology: 3-level architecture issued from Converteam's technology
- Level 2: supervision
- Level 1: automation processes & interface with power generation systems
- Level 0: wired remote Inputs / Outputs
- Network 100mB Ethernet
- Our strength:
- availability at all levels:
- choice of the redundancy quality level (supervision, PLC, power supply)
- Ethernet ring with fast automatic reconfiguration protocol
- high performance:
- transfer of energy sources < 250ms
- fast loadshedding < 50ms
- time stamping at source = 5ms
- perpetuity, openness & evolutivity
- generic & standard field-proven equipment, belongs to Converteam's product range, based on multi-supplier modules
- respect of interface standards (OPC, Ethernet, Modbus...)
- availability at all levels:
