Electric Power Industry of Serbia, Belgrade Tender Documentation ________________
As the vibration parameters of the generating unit directly depend on its operating
mode (rotational speed, load, etc.), all the necessary data for vibration analysis and
diagnostics will be provided via the IED connection for vibration monitoring with the
appropriate generating unit process station, i.e. generating unit control system.
The vibration monitoring system will also have a protection function. For this purpose,
a hard-wired connection will be realized with the control and protection systems of
the generating unit, which will be used for signaling of alerts and alarms, as well as
the issuance of the emergency alarm command for generating unit. Warning and
alarm signals from the vibration monitoring system, refer to signals such as: vibration
above the permitted level, IED monitoring vibration failure, etc.
The existing partial discharge monitoring system in HPP Bistrica comprises the
following:

points are displayed as well. The analyzer front contains tree-colour LED indicators of
stator winding condition.
The new system will be designed as a monitoring system that supports the following
separate entities:

various analyzes of all subsystems that it encompasses with any computer in the TCP
/ IP network.
The central part of each subsystem will be placed in the common control cubicle of
the generating unit 1 (+ 1UM1) and the generating unit 2 (+ 2UM1) with the
accompanying process unit and other equipment for receiving signals from measuring
sensors and signals taken from other systems (control system, excitation system etc.).
Each of the subsystems will forward the information to the central computer of
monitoring, i.e. central server that will store measurement data and the results of
various analyzes and processing into a database will perform certain analysis of
measurement data and allow users to access data from a database.
The hardware and software of the aggregate monitoring system will be of a modular
type, so that they can provide future upgrades to the system. It is important that the
monitoring system has a high level of autonomy and requires minimal maintenance.
Vibration monitoring
The Contractors obligation shall be to dismantle the existing sensors, reinstall them
on the new Units, setting the Vibration Monitoring System parameters, perform the
necessary tests on the equipment and put system in operation.
Partial discharges
Monitoring of partial discharges in stator windings is obsolete (off-line) and it does not
provide timely information about possible breakdown of winding insulation. For that
reason, the latest standard for this type of equipment is a system with on-line
continuous monitoring of generator parameters, which improves the main role of this
system. Additionally, in this way, power monitoring results will be reliably compared
with the results of off-line testing and diagnostics. Additionally, in this way, power
monitoring results will be reliably compared with the results of off-line testing and
diagnostics. This Tender documentation envisages replacement of the entire system,
without retaining the existing sensors.
Measurement of air gap is one of the most important parameters necessary for safe
and efficient exploitation of the generator. Touching the rotor to the stator is often the
cause of long-term and expensive overhaul of the hydrogenerator. The air gap control
together with the rotor / stator / rotor / stator / shape control can provide a timely alert
about the possibility of touching. Shoving the shaft in relation to the central axis of the
rotor or distorting the stator concentration also reduces the efficiency of the generator's
operation at the expense of increasing the magnetic attraction of the rotor to the stator
in the area of the minimum gap and corresponding growth of the stator winding and
losses.
Monitoring of the magnetic flux will allow continuous (continuous) monitoring of the
magnetic flux in the air gap of the generator (intermediate). The monitoring of the
magnetic flux will allow testing of the insulation state during the operation of the
generator, during working conditions in which electrical, magnetic, temperature and
mechanical stresses are present.
