TIBCO spotfire : TIBCO is an organization and having different products as many as 18 and spotfire is one them , spotfire is a tool wich is used for visualization of data in the form of graphs . Spotfire Having different components like Spotfire server , spotfire client(thick client),spitfire webplayer,spotfire webplayer server , authentication server and MS-SQL .

STRM&D Summary: The purpose of the Steam Turbine Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics (ST RM&D) program is to provide technologies to enable GE customers to Optimize the operation, Preserve performance and Perform general health monitoring of their steam turbine units.

The fleet metrics application is a central system program that enables the customer to view high-level statistics, alarms and some critical calculations to monitor the health of their units. Fleet Metrics data sources contain sensors data pulled from OSM at 1-minute interval of time.

Tag Profiling Summary: 1. A Steam turbine is subjected to various kinds of startups in its entire life span broadly categorized into hot, warm and cold starts based on their HP 1st stage bowl temperature. 2. The profile is rendered for only one unit which can be selected either directly or indirectly by filtering Customer wise or CC Type wise. 3. The profiles have been plotted in different colors based on the temperature of the first stage bowl metal section during startup. 4. This module involves the following profiles broadly: i. ii. Load Profile Stress Profile a. HP Stress Profile b. RH Stress Profile iii. Differential Expansion Profile

A] Load Profile: 1. The time required to reach the rated load varies for different kinds of startup. This gives the information about ramping time of steam turbine for particular startup. 2. The load profiles are useful for: i. To determine how quickly turbine attends its rated load

Classification: GE-GDC Internal

ii.

To compare the loading rates for different types of start

B] Stress Profile: 1. Stress profiles are plotted for the HP and RH section 2. HP and RH surface stresses and bore stresses are obtained from startups for the entire operating period and were plotted against time to capture the change in stress values for the unit startup, steady state and shutdown operations 3. Primarily done to understand the response of the stresses to metal temperatures at the time of startup 4. The stress profiles are useful for: i. ii. iii. Understanding behavior of rotor for different startup conditions To minimize the risk of rotor burst To determine the startup times

C] Differential Expansion Profile: 1. They are plotted for the HP section 2. The differential expansion is the difference between shell and rotor thermal expansion 3. Differential expansion in the HP section is measured by a combination of probes mounted to the front standard that measure rotor expansion relative to the front standard, (RXD-1, -2) and another set of probes (SXD-1A, -1B) mounted on the front standard that measure the travel of the HP shell arm relative to the standard. 4. The differential expansion profiles are used for: i. ii. To avoid axial rubbing due to excessive differential expansion To avoid leakages

Major tables used and their purpose: 1. tblstevents: holds data for start/stop events (Event = 1) 2. tblSTConfig: holds information for all the active records, used to get the possible TSNO, Customer names etc along with data for turbine configuration/type, rated mw 3. tblstrmddata: data taken for startup calculations, all the tags to be used for rendering these plots including the data for temperature (for color coding) are obtained from this table Tags used for rendering: A] Color Coding: 1. Following tags are used for the color coding, common for all three profile types:

2. If the value of tag (i) mentioned above is NULL then the tag (ii) is evaluated, incase this tag value is also NULL then the tag (iii) value is evaluated for coding the color of the graph to be plotted Note: In the case where all the three tag values are NULL, a unique color is defined and tagged as UNKNOWN B] Profile rendering: Profile Load profile HP Stress Profile RH Stress Profile Differential Expansion Profile Tags evaluated DWATT S7_HP, S8_HP S7_RH, S8_RH DIFF_EXP1, DIFF_EXP2, SED, ROTOR_EXP1, ROTOR_EXP2

Algorithms used: A] Load Profile: The load profile algorithm will calculate the time required for the particular startup to reach the maximum rated load for the first time after synchronization. B] Stress Profile: The stress profile algorithm will calculate the time required for the particular startup to reach the maximum or minimum stress value or both values after startup. Stress data corresponding to the tag S7_HP, S8_HP for HP stress profile and S7_RH, S8_RH for RH stress profile will be used. 1. HP Stress Profile: If tag value of S7_HP is NULL then value of tag S8_HP will be used. In the case of data for both tags is null then that data point is not plotted 2. RH Stress Profile: If tag value of S7_RH is NULL then value of tag S8_RH will be used. In the case of data for both tags is null then that data point is not plotted C] Differential Expansion Profile: The differential expansion algorithm will calculate the time required for the particular startup to reach the maximum value of differential expansion. 1. Differential expansion data corresponding to the tag DIFF_EXP1 and DIFF_EXP2 will be used. 2. If these two tags are not available then the difference between shell expansion and rotor expansion is used. The tags SED-1, SED-1A are used for shell thermal expansion and ROTOR_EXP1, ROTOR_EXP2 are used for rotor thermal expansion.

Color Coding: The standard color codes that will be used for each categorization is mentioned below:

Fleet Operating Hours Summary: 1. A Steam turbine is subjected to number of startups and shutdowns in its entire operating period. 2. Knowing the startup time and corresponding shutdown time cumulative hours of operation can be calculated. This Cumulative hour of operation gives a crude estimate of life consumed during the years of operation and also an estimate of remaining life of the turbine. 3. Fleet operating hours plot provides the following information. i. ii. Estimation for Steam turbines lives. Number of outages and changes in mission during the operating period.

4. The fleet operating hours can be rendered for one or more than one unit by selecting multiple units based on CC Type or Customer filter.

Major tables used and their purpose: 1. tblstevents: holds data for start/stop events (Event = 1,2 for startup and shutdown events correspondingly)

Classification: GE-GDC Internal

2. tblSTConfig: holds information for all the active records, used to get the possible TSNO, Customer names etc along with data for turbine configuration/type, rated mw Algorithm Used: 1. The algorithm developed identifies the startups and corresponding shutdowns and calculates the cumulative operating hours for a given turbine and plots the chart of cumulative operating hours vs. date for each turbine 2. Identify the first startup event from all the startup events (event = 1) extracted from the tblSTConfig table and plot the same as the starting point 3. If the event encountered is shutdown event (event = 2), then add the difference between the endeventtime and begineventtime tags to the cumulative hours calculated so far. 4. If the last event encountered amongst the selection is a startup event (event = 1) and there is no endeventtime value defined for that particular event, assign the end date of the search criteria entered by the user. It implies that the unit is still running.

Startup Profile

Summary: Whenever the user selects the required data the startup profile page will display the corresponding data (HP Upper bowl Temperature and Date) in a plotted graph. Along with this graph the user can able to view the Raw data parallel by clicking on Raw Data button. The plotted graph will also displayed as the PIE chart when you specifically click on Click here button. Main tables Used: TblSTConfig TblSTEvents TblSTStmAdmTime

 If the user selects the Rollup Customer option, The user has to click on select details, it will display all the Turbine serial numbers for all the particular selected Customer. Multiple selections are also possible in selecting the TSNo. If the user selects the Unit option, The user has to select the Turbine from the provided combo control. And also at a time only one turbine can be selected. Multiple selections are not possible. After completion of the above 3 steps the user has to select the start and end dates. Or he can directly click on Select Entire Period so that the entire range of date has been selected. Finally the user has to select the temperature range which was provided in 2 types (0-100F and 0-150F) and clicks on Submit will display the graph plotted by the range of HP Upper bowl temp.
