The use of LNG is a proven, reliable, and safe process, and natural gas is quickly becoming the world’s cleanest burning fossil fuel as it emerges as the environmentally preferred fuel of choice. It is for this reason that LNG facilities are put under more pressure than ever to meet the world’s natural gas demand. Keeping your plants running at an efficient pace is vital to production and condition monitoring plays a critical part in this process. Condition monitoring provides a proactive approach so that maintenance can be planned, eliminating unscheduled outages and optimizing machine performance. In addition, condition monitoring helps to avoid breakdowns with subsequent secondary damage and loss of production revenue meaning that today’s LNG facilities simply can’t afford to not have a reliable condition monitoring solution.

Many newer UPS systems have an energy-saving operating mode known as “eco-mode” or by some other descriptor. Nevertheless, surveys show that virtually no data centers actually use this mode, because of the known or anticipated side-effects. Unfortunately, the marketing materials for these operating modes do not adequately explain the cost / benefit tradeoffs. This paper shows that eco-mode provides a reduction of approximately 2% in data center energy consumption and explains the various limitations and concerns that arise from eco-mode use. Situations where these operating modes are recommended and contraindicated are also described.

[White Paper] Europe’s Window of Opportunity for Terminal OperatorsSchneider Electric
As Europe is going through an unprecedented financial and economic crisis,
the oil and gas industry continues to face an uncertain business environment.
Another recession could lead to reduced demand and further increase the
pressure on margins in downstream operations. This has suppliers and buyers
looking to exploit any operational efficiency they can.
Terminal operators play a critical role in helping suppliers and buyers achieve
those efficiencies, and can benefit their own operations while doing so. To gain
a competitive edge, terminal operators need to be mindful of the big trends
in the industry and make sure that their Terminal Automation System (TAS)
is capable of supporting state-of-the-art supply management systems that
suppliers intend to use in order to maximize their efficiency. And for most TAS,
a simple configuration change is all it takes to achieve this.

Application Note: Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS) for Winter Road ...Schneider Electric
Weather-related delays on U.S. roadways contribute to significant productivity losses. Every year, adverse weather creates more than 500 million vehicle-hours of delay. For trucking companies, these delays add up to $3 billion in lost productivity annually.
The weather’s impact on roadways also takes a toll on human lives. On average, 1,921 people are killed
and 146,647 more are injured each year in accidents involving snow, slush, sleet, and ice.1 Agencies
responsible for road conditions spend $2.3 billion fighting snow and ice, which is approximately 20 percent of their annual maintenance budgets.
When adverse weather threatens road conditions, maintenance managers must take many factors into
consideration in order to plan an effective response:
• Which routes to treat
• When to apply chemicals
• What type of chemical to apply
• What chemical application rate to use
• The cost of the chemicals, fuel, and labor
• The environmental impact of the chemicals
To make the most effective decisions, agencies require technology that provides the best available observed and forecast weather information, integrated with operational recommendations.
For the ground transportation industry, this tool is known as a MDSS, first developed in 2001. The MDSS
integrates relevant road weather forecasts, coded maintenance rules of practice, and maintenance
resource data to provide winter maintenance managers with recommended road treatment strategies, based on available resources and best practices.
Virtualization and Cloud Computing: Optimized Power, Cooling, and Management ...Schneider Electric
IT virtualization, the engine behind cloud computing, can have significant consequences on the data center physical infrastructure (DCPI). Higher power densities that often result can challenge the cooling capabilities of an existing system. Reduced overall energy consumption that typically results from physical server consolidation may actually worsen the data center’s power usage effectiveness (PUE). Dynamic loads that vary in time and location may heighten the risk of downtime if rack-level power and cooling health are not understood and considered. Finally, the fault-tolerant nature of a highly virtualized environment could raise questions about the level of redundancy required in the physical infrastructure. These particular effects of virtualization are discussed and possible solutions or methods for dealing with them are offered.

This document summarizes different aspects of wind turbines. It discusses how wind power is calculated based on air density, swept area of the turbine, and wind speed. It describes the main types of wind turbines according to power output and design, including horizontal axis and vertical axis turbines. It also summarizes different blade configurations based on the number of blades and how blade design factors like twist and taper optimize power capture. Additionally, it outlines considerations for siting wind turbines and control mechanisms used in turbines of different sizes to regulate power in high winds.
A wind mill converts the kinetic energy of moving air into Mechanical energy that can be either used directly to run the Machine or to run the generator to produce electricity.
Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical power by spinning blades attached to a shaft that turns a generator to produce electricity. Modern wind turbines usually have two or three long, skinny aluminum or steel blades on a tall tower and come in both horizontal-axis and vertical-axis designs. Wind farms are locations with many wind turbines clustered together that collectively produce a large amount of electricity from wind power, which is a renewable, clean, and often inexpensive renewable resource.
Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical or electrical energy. They consist of a tower, nacelle, rotor blades, generator, and other components. When wind blows, the rotor blades spin a shaft connecting to a generator inside the nacelle to produce electricity. Wind turbines require a minimum wind speed of 10-15 kph to function and automatically stop at 90 kph for safety. They come in both onshore and offshore varieties, with offshore turbines able to generate more electricity due to more regular winds but being more expensive to install and maintain.
The document discusses various renewable energy sources including wind, solar, geothermal, hydro, and hydrogen. It provides details on how each source works, current usage levels, benefits and downsides. For wind energy, it describes how turbines convert wind into electricity. Geothermal taps heat from the earth. Hydrogen can be used to store energy from renewable sources using electrolysis and fuel cells. The document also explores using algae as a potential source of hydrogen fuel.
Wind energy is generated through wind turbines that convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical or electrical power. There are two main types of wind turbines - horizontal axis and vertical axis. Key components include blades, a drive train, a tower, and equipment to generate electricity. Multiple turbines grouped together form wind farms. Larger turbines can power many homes. While wind energy has environmental benefits over fossil fuels, it also has disadvantages such as intermittent supply and higher initial costs than other generation methods.
The Egyptians were the first to use wind power around 3,500 BC by creating sails for boats. In 500 BC, Persians developed the first wind-powered device to grind grain. Between 1300-1850 AD, familiar windmill designs spread across Europe to mill grain on a large scale. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, early electric wind turbines were developed in Scotland and the US. Throughout the 1900s, wind turbines increased in size and efficiency and became more widely used globally to generate electricity, with global capacity growing from under 20,000 MW in 1990 to over 486,000 MW by 2016.
Wind energy has a long history dating back thousands of years. Modern utility-scale wind turbines are much larger than early designs and can power hundreds of homes. While wind is a renewable resource, it fluctuates and is not a constant power source. Wind farms are best used alongside other renewable energy sources. Technological advances continue to be made to optimize wind energy production and integrate it into energy systems.

D4 Combining Scada data and Lidar to recitfy under performanceKelly Dallas, MBA
- Combining SCADA data analysis and LiDAR measurements can help identify underperformance issues in wind turbines. SCADA data from one site showed turbines with dropping performance and bearing failures. A subsequent LiDAR campaign validated issues and measured power curves.
- LiDAR can accurately measure power curves, yaw misalignment, and help optimize asset performance. Campaigns include installing LiDAR, monitoring performance, recommending corrections, and re-measuring. This helps reduce production losses from issues.
- Data analysis and LiDAR campaigns together can identify and explain performance problems to help maximize asset output and prevent major failures. Starting with SCADA data analysis helps identify which turbines need further LiDAR investigation.
