Monitor its assets in real time

Determine if any abnormal conditions exist

Repair any abnormalities before catastrophic failures  

Maintain peak capacity

NYPA has at least one form of monitoring system on all its hydro generators. The following monitoring systems have been deployed at NYPA’s hydro plants:

FluxTrac HydroTrac Vibration Monitoring System GCS (Generator Control System) provides conventional process data. 

GCS is a Distributed Control System (DCS) that manages and maintains the operation of the hydro generator (not by R&D department)

The purpose of the Fluxtrac is to reliably determine shorted turns in the rotor pole windings

By detecting shorts on‐line under real operating  conditions, NYPA can avoid pole drop test which: 

must be performed offline (hydro unit not in service) is time consuming to perform often not effective at detecting problems that occur in service where 

operating temperature and mechanical stresses are a factor

In a salient pole machine, the radial magnetic flux profile across each pole depends on the MW and MVAR loading of the machine.

Any change in the flux profile within a pole at a given load must be due to shorted turns or the distance between the rotor and stator.

A flux probe is installed on the stator surface and measures the magnetic flux in the air gap in a generator duringmachine operation

The flux in the air‐gap induces a current in the flux probe as each pole passes the sensor

The Hydrotrac system is used to detect partial discharge  (PD) activity in stator  windings

By installing the  Hydrotrac, NYPA can  detect stator winding insulation system problems online and in addition:

No shut down or outage is required Problems are detected years before failure Enables predictive maintenance Helps avoid  in‐service failure Determines the effectiveness of any maintenance performed

Partial discharges (PD) are small electrical sparks that occur when air pockets exist within high voltage insulation and possible causes are:  Poor impregnation of coils (voids) Overheating of coils  Looseness of windings (slot discharge) Deterioration of semi conductive or grading coatings (slot or end 

winding discharge) Contamination of windings (tracking)

Two couplers per phase are installed near the junction of the circuit ring

The vibration monitoring system is more than simply a vibration monitoring system. It monitors: Vibration (shaft displacement) Air gap Temperature

Each monitoring cabinet consist of several monitors/modules: TDI module (3500/22) is used to configure the rack and receive 

machinery information as well as communicate with the DAQ/System1™ . The 3500/46 module is used for vibration & air‐gap. Some I/O modules 

were configured for specific operation requiring modification software. Module 3500/61 is used for temperature probes 3500/25 Keyphasor module which uses the signal from a proximity probe 

as a starting reference point. Module 3500/50 (Tachometer) is used for rotor speed measurement.   3500/33 Relay module is used to provide relay outputs by using alarm 

drive logic. VGA Module 3500/94 converts data into graphical representation.

HydroX is an extension of Bently Nevada’s System1™ 

Its goal is to combine all monitoring systems/points, provide diagnostic information and give plant personnel an  overview of the hydro generator’s performance.

The monitoring systems/points refers to:

Fluxtrac HydroTrac™ Vibration Monitoring System (BN3500™) SCADA and DCS for conventional sensor data and process variables
