EASA-BEMAS Motor Club: Condition Monitoring of Motor Systems
BEMAS, together with EASA and The Rotating Company, invites you to the 6th Motor Club in Belgium on 7 December 2023 at a very interesting location. We are welcome at this very interesting location: the motor shop of The Rotating Company in Melle (near Ghent). The BEMAS-EASA Motor Club is a unique opportunity to exchange with your colleagues in the field of motor systems and learn more about the latest on the subject.
Open and free of charge to members and non-members!
Program
13:00: Welcome with coffee
13.15: Introduction
13:30: Guided tour and Live demo: EASA Accreditation - Maintaining Energy Efficiency @ Workshop Motoren Francoys, by Emmanuel Buyck, The Rotating Company
14:20: Presentation: Digital Condition Monitoring and Energy Analysis, by Magnus Dahlqvist, ABB
14:50: Presentation: Schaeffler’s Lifetime Solutions: Tools & Techniques for the Maintenance of Electric Motors, by Pierre Dupont, KAM-Industry MRO Sales, Schaeffler
Early detection of potential machine damages is capital for evaluating downtime risks and for managing inherent issues. The use of new smart tools for identify motor’s or generator’s damages, coupled with detection engines can support the arduous tasks of the plant’s maintenance teams. More than a tool, the Lifetime Solutions Concept from Schaeffler provides solutions for given situation met in industry. The talk will present and technically describe this concept, the associated tools (Optime, Optime C1, Concept) and when they can be advantageously used.
15:20: Coffee break & Networking
15:45: Presentation: Health Assessment for Electric Motors: Applying the Exercise Electrocardiogram Concept
By Bram Vervisch, R&D & Customer relations at Orbits
Top-level athletes undergo regular exercise electrocardiograms to monitor their cardiovascular health. Similarly, high-performance electric motors should also be periodically evaluated to ensure their optimal functioning. Various techniques exist for motor health assessment, including vibration analysis, thermal analysis, and motor circuit analysis. However, one of the most effective methods is Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA), which leverages the measurement of three voltages and three currents in an electric motor to estimate its impedance. A periodic monitoring of impedance serves as a vital indicator of the motor's health, assessable during operational conditions. This presentation offers an introductory exploration of ESA, its principles, and its capabilities, drawing a parallel between the health assessment of athletes and electric motors, highlighting the importance of maintaining peak performance and functionality.
16:15: Open discussion & idea exchange: How to accelerate the application of new technologies and solutions on motor systems?
16:45: Conclusions & Closing drink
