Presentación de nuestro Sistema de Monitoreo y Diagnóstico para el sector Hydro.

2. The MPH1000 system is a powerful tool devoted to the hydroelectric generation industry
that allows controlling the operating status of turbine, generator, and auxiliary elements in
real time. The main purpose is to improve the efficiency of production processes based on
machines regardless their type, size, and output.
The MPH1000 system performs an incipient and automatic analysis of probable failures
operating in a threshold prior to their occurrence. The system works automatically and
online on machines under operation allowing failures to be detected earlier and thereby
reducing operating and maintenance costs significantly.
The MPH10000 system provides unique protection features to monitor the mechanical,
hydraulic, and electric performance of the machine independently during startup, loading,
and rated power stages. This system shutdowns the machine if an anomaly is detected. It
acts earlier than other protection systems available on the market.
The benefits resulting from using this
system are:
• Early detection of incipient failures
and anticipation of their
consequences
• Optimization and effectiveness of
maintenance activities using the
predictive failure system
• Optimization of the productive
process
• Reduction of carrying costs and of
spare part costs and reduction or
removal of fines imposed by control
entities due to the suspension of
machine operation
• Reduction of unplanned stops and
idle times
• Significant reduction of catastrophic
failures

Instrumentation
Sitrack Vibes has subscribed technology development agreements with several
world-class scientific institutions for the purpose of developing instrumentation for
specific applications.
The MPH1000 system uses signals from sensors
located within machines and process signals.
The system supports sensors existing at the plant
and additional sensors are installed as required.
Signals from various sensors are used, including:
• Accelerometers
• Proximity sensors
• Pressure sensors
• Temperature sensors
• Air gap
• Process variables

5. Protection
Sitrack Vibes provides machine protection systems that operate using vibration analysis.
These systems identify abnormal situations that jeopardize the normal operation of
machines.
Sitrack Vibes offers a specific
protection system for hydraulic turbines
that is capable of detecting the
abnormal behavior of machines during
startup, speed increase to rated speed,
synchronization with the electric
network, loading, and rated power
stages.
This is a unique system that protects
the machine during startup phases detecting vibration levels caused by hydraulic,
mechanical, and electromagnetic forces. If a hazardous abnormal behavior is detected
during these stages, a stop unit alarm is sent. This protection system includes self-
calibration features so it can be adapted to every type of machines.
Local Monitor
Monitoring, analysis, and diagnosis functions are carried out by
a local monitor installed at the power station. This monitor
receives field signals and performs data conditioning, filtering,
and acquisition tasks.
Information is processed using an industrial computer placed
within the monitor. Algorithms and analysis models for
machines are the sole property and design of Sitrack Vibes.
The local monitor generates on-line information on the status of
the machine, as well as alarm and temporary reports. This
information is sent to the local control room of the power station
and to Sitrack Vibes facilities.
Shaft Monitor
The shaft monitor is a proprietary concept of Sitrack Vibes. This equipment is assembled
on the turbine shaft and allows monitoring the dynamic operation of the rotor on an on-line
and continuous basis during the operation of the machine.
Acceleration and deformation of the shaft are measured for the purpose of tracking certain
phenomena.
Information input and transmission is made wirelessly to the Sitrack Vibes turbine monitor.

6. Control Room and Local Analysis
The local control room shows the diagnosis on the machine status in real time. Alarms and
reports that contain all the signals and parameters measured are also provided.
Additionally, temporary signals, spectral signals, and historical trends can be analyzed.
Software suites including specific analyses are offered. They allow conducting the
following activities:
• Visual supervision and analysis of the machine vibratory behavior in real time
• Comparative supervision and analysis of the dynamic behavior of the rotating set
during startup
• Real-time analysis of the generator air gap
• Cavitation monitoring
• Vortex rope monitoring
• Monitoring of blows on runner (Francis) or blades (Kaplan)

7. Sitrack Vibes Facilities
Sitrack Vibes servers are located in the
city of Mendoza. They are equipped with
the elements and tools required to post-
process signals received and to store
reports and inform alarms.
On-line information on machinery status
as well as report and historical alarm
information can be accessed through the
Web.
Sitrack Vibes facilities also accommodate
a 24/7 monitoring room. When an alarm is
generated, it is received and processed by
Sitrack Vibes operators, who inform it to
the contact persons previously defined by
the client by telephone, fax, or e-mail.
Sitrack Vibes facilities also have a mechanical analysis service led by expert engineers.
This service ensures that machines are monitored every day and that analyses and trends
on incipient failure signs are prepared. This customized service is provided optionally and
operates in parallel with the on-line and automatic analysis and diagnosis features of
MPH1000.
