Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a system and method of monitoring assets of an enterprise using a stand-alone software system and a process automation software system. The stand-alone software system is operable to generate a web page about a condition of the asset and to transmit data items for the condition in a single data string. The data items include a status of the condition and a URL of the web page. The process automation software system includes a human system interface (HSI) and a generic asset monitor having a changeable condition table. The generic asset monitor may be modified to create a custom asset monitor specific to the asset. The custom asset monitor is operable to monitor the status of the condition and the HSI is operable to display the data items and the web page from the stand-alone software system.
Abstract:
It is presented an apparatus for use in an electrical power generation plant. The apparatus comprises: at least two adjustable speed drives, each connected, on an alternating current side, to an associated auxiliary motor; at least one reactive power consuming auxiliary device connected to an alternating current bus; a controller; and a converter for converting alternating current to direct current or vice versa between the alternating current bus and a direct current bus; at least one electrical power source arranged to provide power to the direct current bus; and wherein each of the at least two adjustable speed drive is connected, on a direct current side, to the direct current bus.
