Sedco-Forex, Power Management System, Scientific Research Vessel Joides Resolution. Singapore, Australia and Antarctica: 1998 to 2000

Lead Engineer for the design of the Power management System. Responsibilities included developing conceptual design, cost estimating, control system upgrade, writing functional specifications and Mathematical Algorithm to maintain Ship’s power during sudden system overload. The model used was phase-back PID and Automatic Control of Ship’s Generators. Process Control System PCS7

(V4.02). Control System included Siemens S7-400 PLC, Distributed Profibus Remote I/O ET200M. Project description

Joides Resolution is a Scientific Research Vessel. During drilling operations, the vessel must maintain accurate and steady position. Any loss of power that could result in a blackout situation will affect the ship position due to strong currents in high seas and could therefore lead to a very critical situation. The purpose of Siemens Canada offering is to:

Maintain the ship’s power during operations.

Maintain ship’s load at a predefined and operational level by fast reaction to overload situations.

Optimize the utilization of diesel-generators (5 main skids 2.1MW & 2 service ship skids 1.5MW) and therefore optimize the fuel consumption.

Siemens Proposal:

To achieve the above-mentioned goals, we offered our process control system PCS7 and a power management algorithm.

The power management algorithm is based on:

Calculation of ship’s load and definition of diesel engine automatic start/stop levels.

Calculation of phase back and power limitation levels for each overload situation (reaction time

= 100ms)

Load shedding: disconnection of auxiliaries as last resort if the overload situation is not corrected after bringing additional generators online nor after throttling back. Engineering concepts applied in this application:

PID Controls: Identifying the source of overload and the PID parameters (gain, integration time, derivative component, and feedback signals…).

Load Calculations to determine reactions to different overload scenarios

Ship’s Overload in the event of a loss of one main generator (2.1 MW) this will determine what loads need be shed after such loss. 5

Ship’s Overload compared to phase back level (usually 95%): this will determine to what level the propulsion or drilling components’ loads should be limited.

Engine Normal / emergency start: by comparing actual load, actual capacity without defected skids to a predefined load level, the system establishes if a new generator need to be connected to the main bus.

Skydome Corporation, Retractable Roof Motion Control, Toronto, Canada - 1997 to 1998 Lead Automation Systems Engineer for the upgrade of Skydome Retractable Roof Control System. Responsibilities included integration of infrared communication between Control Room and moving panels, software design & implementation of Closed loop motion control and Safety Interlocking Specifications; simulating process conditions & positioning control for staged software testing using Wincc and simulation module SIMBA; providing Checkout and Startup Supervision. Control Systems included Siemens S7-400 PLC, Siemens HMI system WinCC, Infrared Transmission Modules and hard-wired controls.

Project description

The Skydome 11,000 tons retractable roof is a motion control and wireless communication application.

The roof is put in motion with 2 sets of motor loops located east and west of center field. Roof operations (opening & closing) are conditioned by 2 major factors:

Weather update: latest weather updates are received with 30 minutes delay.

Time of operation: if weather conditions do not permit, the roof must be closed within 20 minutes. Problems with existing system

The 2 sets of motor loops (east and west) should position roof panels within a permissible range of skew (difference in position between eastside and westside). If the skew exceeds the maximum permissible limit, a ramp down command is then issued taking the roof to a stop and idle position. This situation is a high risk for Skydome in rainy conditions. The existing system used an open loop model to position roof panels; not all calculation and commands were synchronized and therefore skew situations occurred frequently. During Roof motion, local panels’ control rooms are connected to Central Control room via Cable reels and junction boxes. This is a mechanical restriction because any constraint on the cable will result in a communication interruption.

Proposed and implemented Solution:

To resolve the communication problem, infrared modules were installed in each panel and aligned with a fixed receiver in a fixed part of the building. 6

Signal conversions and alignments comply with technical specifications of Profibus Network. To resolve movement interruption -due to high skew- closed loop control modules were installed and operate with absolute encoders.

The motion control does no longer depend on calculations in the PLC (programmable logical controller) but rather on real time PID algorithms of the closed loop control modules. The key element of this solution is that 2 motor loops with similar movement profiles and similar machine data (encoder data, drive data, mechanical and profiles) are synchronized in real time to be at the same position. All the dynamics are considered in internal PID calculations.

National Office of Phosphate, Process Control System for Material extraction; transport & distribution Khouribga, Morocco 1994 to 1995

Process Control Engineer for a 190 M$ Automation Project for Conveying system, Stacking & Reclaiming Processes. Responsibilities included executing software design, programming, checkout and startup of Automated Reclaimers (6); Stackers (12) and 25 Kms conveying system. Control systems included Siemens PLCs 135-U, 155-U, positioning modules IP241 and Coros LSB supervisory control and operator interface.

Project description

The above project is a wide range of automation applications using the following engineering concepts:

Control & interlocking (for conveying systems).

PID regulation (for speed controls & tonnage/hour). The distribution of Stacker and reclaimer machines in the storage site requires an algorithm to calculate positions of each machine depending on:

Machine status (in use or not).

Quality of material handled at a location by a designated machine. Example of a configuration:

A reclaimer RP4 could be distributing 2 types of material (different densities) to the same plant. While in automatic mode (PID control mode that guarantees 3000 tons/hour based on bucket wheel speed), the calculations of wheel depth need to be performed accurately when switching between 2 different material densities: The bigger the density is, the lesser wheel depth should be to maintain 3000 tons / hr.

8

The wheel depth (which is translated by machine steps in meters) is calculated and adjusted by:

Position.

Sampling measurements while in operation.

Density of material.

The Conveying system control is based on feedback and conveyor status to ensure that there will be no material loss during transportation (25 Kms is the covered distance between extraction and storage sites)
