There has been much discussion around the topic of ice build-up on wind turbines, particularly those close to civilisation. As with any structure, under the right atmospheric conditions, ice can build-up over a period of time. Whilst the accumulation of ice is highly dependent on weather conditions and the turbines operational state, this build-up can lead to potential risks as the ice melts.
This presentation looks at the new methods developed by Lloyd's Register Consultig to measure and mitigate this risk.

Webinar: Hoe houdt u de marge op peil bij de huidige record hoge energieprijzenStork
De energiekosten schieten omhoog. De energiebudgetten worden zwaar overschreden en het einde is nog niet in zicht. Om de marges op peil te houden is ingrijpen op de kosten een belangrijke optie. Dat betekent: op zoek gaan naar besparingen en het elimineren van ‘waste’. Maar ook het her-prioriteren van geplande investeringen (CAPEX) en operationele verbeteringen (OPEX).
In dit webinar bieden Joris Grimbergen en Mario Idsinga handvatten om de stijgende energiekosten te compenseren.
At Effluent Treatment Innovations our Wastewater Treatment Consultancy Service approaches wastewater treatment through a unique process of Risk Assessment from the water source to the effluent discharge and then provides the client with a detailed Risk Management Plan to reach and maintain consistent discharge Compliance.
Physical world analytics for the Internet of Things. How can vendors work to earn a relationship with the end customer/user/owner— can existing vendors become agents of the customer? Turning data into value.
According to Juran, for the average American manufacturer, the costs of not quality in some cases come to represent 30% of the sales price.
For the builder or client company, a non compliance of contract causes delays in the delivery date, affecting site operations, these delays can generate additional costs not covered: costs of Labor, equipment and penalties if it affect start up of the project. In Peru, in national projects, 75% of projects had delays of up to 60 days.
In this situation, Supplier Management should be an alternative that allows early identification of a delay in delivery date, decline in the quality requirements, the possibility to capture information relevant to decision-making, in order to prevent and mitigate its effects on the project progress.

[Oil & Gas White Paper] Optimizing Pipeline Energy ConsumptionSchneider Electric
Effective energy management can benefit the hydrocarbon pipeline operator. Energy consumption costs – the leading expense for most operators – are rising continuously; however, the commitments needed on the part of the operator often impede implementation of energy-saving practices.
Key to effective energy management is the ability to quantify energy consumption accurately at any specific time and its cost and that of drag reducing agent (DR) use. Operators committed to energy management can implement a real-time, system-wide power optimization solution that evaluates the resource efficiency of a steady-state model of the pipeline. This solution will also perform costing runs of alternative configurations, formulated for the next energy cost rate or other ‘what if’ scenarios, in order to find the most energy-efficient alternative that maintains operational safety and integrity. Implementing these alternatives, the operator can save one percent to five percent of energy costs and reduce carbon emissions.
This advanced information management technology makes these costing considerations so practical they can become a routine, real-time operations process. Putting available information to work with this solution can make power optimization extremely realistic and highly rewarding for the company while supporting overall operational security, safety and environmental stewardship.

SIL = Safety Integrity Level
•Safety systems are becoming increasingly instrumented
•Depending less on human intervention and operator’s ability to respond correctly in a given situation
•Depending more on instrumentation and programmable systems
•SIL requirements are intended to ensure the reliability of such safety instrumented systems
DP / PM awareness courses have been created in response to the increasing concern by drilling operators and oil majors, that there is a shortage of experience and a diluted competency with regard to Dynamic Positioning, and the specific aspects of drilling.
Asset integrity services such as KBAI™ (Knowledge Based Asset Integrity) provide risk profiling for key components based on assessment of data from a variety of sources. This allows owners and operators to better predict where problems will occur. Similar approaches are already regularly used by owners and operators in other industries such as oil and gas. Such systems provide a maintenance and/or inspection task plan that is optimised specifically for the asset and the business. - See more at: http://blog.lr.org/2013/05/kbai-the-definitive-addition-to-your-om-strategy/#sthash.TWKPtbTK.dpuf
The integrity of equipment in an asset-intensive facility depends heavily on the quality and performance of maintenance management in the organisation.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Optimising equipment Safety, Operations and Cost performance

Optimising equipment Safety, Operations and Cost performance.
Pieter van Asten - Maintenance, Risk and reliability
How technology and innovation drive optimisation AND safety.
2. Lloyd’s Register Energy
Agenda
• Introduction
• Risk and Reliability modelling
• Key to optimization
• Data quality and quantity
• Reliability model principle
• Application for BOP annular close function
• Application for Mud pump fluid end parts
3. Lloyd’s Register Energy
Introduction
• Prevention of over / under maintenance of safety and operational critical equipment is
often encountered as problematic without loss of performance.
• Combined with cost efficiency of keeping up with safety and operational performance
adds an extra layer of complexity to the problem.
• They seem to be conflicting factors.
• A key aspect to this problem is awareness and knowledge about risk exposure
involved.
• This presentation will highlight a proven solution to create an optimal balance between
cost, NPT and safety.
4. Lloyd’s Register Energy
Risk and Reliability modelling
• Risk is defined as the probability of failure multiplied by the effect of that failure.
• Probability of failure: how often something fails. (Knowing how it fails or what makes it fail is
equally important for effective maintenance = reliability improvement)
• Effects are for example safety, compliance, NPT (pulling a BOP), loss of income, etc
5. Lloyd’s Register Energy
Risk and Reliability modelling: working in tandem
Operational success (Safety increase / NPT decrease ) is strongly dependent on the
reliability of technical equipment and related through risk reduction.

6. Lloyd’s Register Energy
The key to optimisation
• A reliable system assures safe and efficient operations: lower overall risk exposure.
o Reliability can be achieved in either the design or by maintenance that affects equipment
failure.
o Reliability is measured through failure probability
o Reliability affects both safety and operational equipment performance at ‘x’ cost.
o Maintenance can often only being done within a certain (operational-)timeframe.
Reliability management is very suitable to optimise NPT
and safety on a cost basis as all are risk aspects and
form a perfect balance beam:
cost of the risk of failure vs. the cost of failure prevention.
7. Lloyd’s Register Energy
The key to optimisation
• Risk and its associated cost are key to optimise between over and / or under maintenance
for safety and operational performance.
o Component risk of failure is dependant on the system and its functionality that component
operates in.
o Component risk of failure is dependant on the level of redundancy of these components in that
system.
o The effect of component failure, expressed in cost, is therefore different for different functionality.
• Lloyd’s Register Energy Reliability model takes these differentiations into account.
8. Lloyd’s Register Energy
The key to optimisation
• The main focus of Lloyd’s Register Energy’s Reliability model is to assist in cost balance
without loss of critical equipment functionality in future operations:
Safe and effective delivery of a well with a focus on cost optimisation.
• The essence of Lloyd’s Register Energy’s Reliability model is the ability to balance cost of
the risk failure with the cost of failure prevention.
• Typical statements for our reliability model:
“Lacking data quantity or quality is not a reason not to start”
“Is the value of the risk that was prevented equal or higher as the cost of preventing (i.e.
maintenance)?”
“Forecasting what needs to be done now to prevent future component failures leading to NPT or
unsafe situations”
“Prioritisation of maintenance work that has the highest effect on risk prevention: replacing now or
later, what is the effect of replacement or maintenance, on future operations and cost-wise?”
9. Lloyd’s Register Energy
Data quality and quantity
• Successful application of reliability modelling depends on data quality and quantity.
• Improved data quality allows for more accurate reliability calculations, prediction and
decisions.
• Data quantity, also from different sources, mixed and matched (time and usage based)
leverage data quality and quantity.
• Data quality improves due to focussed data collection upon the start of a reliability
project.
• Data maturing cycle:
10. Lloyd’s Register Energy
Data quality and quantity: using small data samples
• How does it look like: raw failure data from asset management system.
• Using only corrective maintenance (failure) data leads to a too conservative MTTF.
11. Lloyd’s Register Energy
Reliability model principle
• Example of reliability model principle (input can be time, usage (i.e. cycles, miles))
Net. expected positive
difference on cost of risk:
$ 330 000
12. Lloyd’s Register Energy
Reliability model
• The optimal effect is achieved when focussing on component failure analysis to optimize
functional (reliability) performance and success.
• This allows for demonstration of maintenance effect and cost motivation against
operational success or cost of being unsuccessful.
• Combination of functions and components
• Optimised component reliability = optimised performance = optimised function =
operational success .
• Adding cost of repair, spares and cost of risk of failure
allows for a cost balance: a means to align operations
and maintenance departments talking a similar language:
less confusion: better decision motivation.
