PROBLEMS ARE ALWAYS HIDDEN, AND WE HELP YOU FIND THEM
CEO CORNER Trends of manufacturing : Knowing the facts In recent years, advances in Internet of Things (IoT) devices and connectivity have allowed manufacturers to build more intelligent manufacturing systems. These advances and the growing popularity of cloud-computing allows more manufacturers to integrate their information technology (IT) and their operational technology (OT). Manufacturers can converge IT and OT to pool data from the factory floor with other areas of the business, such as customer insights. This gives manufacturers access to real-time enterprise data to increase visibility across the supply chain. Manufacturers can then use this information to make decisions. Connecting more devices to the IoT can help manufacturers working towards more intelligent manufacturing processes to do so, without investing in an entirely new system. Manufacturers can retrofit existing equipment with smart sensors to collect real-time data about the condition of legacy equipment. Access to information on machine condition will help manufacturers detect machine faults, giving them time to order a replacement part from a reliable automation parts supplier before downtime occurs. The possibilities inherent in linking the capabilities of digitalization to the physical aspects of industry by capitalizing on the growing abilities of the Internet of Things (IoT) and other technologies has earned a name of its own, Industry 4.0. The name comes from the fact that there were three other industrial revolutions identified in history. Ideally, a smart factory is flexibly automated and self-monitoring where machines, materials, and humans communicate with each other, sparing workers for other productive tasks and ultimately optimizing the design and production processes for elevated operational efficiency. Industry 4.0 can empower building what many refer to as ‘smart factory’ for a truly productive environment with benefits to manufacturers as well as consumers such as enhanced communication, real-time monitoring, advanced data analysis, and self-diagnosis. The Indian manufacturing sector has evolved drastically in the past few years and has become one of the high growth sectors of India. Initiatives such as Make in India and implementation of good and service tax (GST) have been the boosters in the growth of this industry. By 2020, India is expected to become the 5th largest manufactory country. Such a tremendous growth has a majority of made foreign nations positive and confident of India manufacturing industry.

The new cost-effective bus cable is available in two outer jacket options – CFBUS. PVC.020 with highly abrasion-resistant PVC or CFBUS.PUR.020 with highly oil-resistant PUR. As with igus cables, the new CAN bus cables were also tested in the in-house test laboratory, spread over 2,750 square metres. This
makes igus the only manufacturer on the market to offer a 36-month guarantee on its entire cable range. The new cables are used in processing machines and machine tools, as well as in low-temperature applications. To facilitate trade with Russia or EAEU member states both cables have CTP and EAC approval. chainflex cables with approvals are reliable and save money With more than 1,300 types, igus offers the widest range of energy chain cables with the world’s most extensive www.powertechreview.com
BUSINESS NEWS selection with international approvals, including cables with EAC and CTP approval. The EAC certificate is the official proof that the imported machines or components for production equipment comply with the harmonised technical regulations (TR ZU) of the participating countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The CTP standard focuses on the
fire behaviour of cables and the flame retardancy of the materials used. The two approvals are intended to simplify business relations. Thanks to the EAC and CTP approvals, companies exporting to Russia or EAEU member states can get their machines and equipment through customs more quickly and start commissioning at the end-customer immediately
after re-assembly. Having both EAC and CTP approval, the comprehensive inspection of all regulatory requirements for all components of a production machine is carried out quickly and smoothly. By using certified chainflex cables, companies can save time and money at customs. An additional advantage of both certifications is that new and used
machinery and equipment can be moved and sold across the borders within all member states of the Customs Union. Further national certificates of conformity, through GOST-R, TR or GOST-K, are no longer required with EAC and CTP approvals.

ABB’s New AXR Large AC Motors Offer Power-Dense Design For Hazardous Locations The AXR 5000 and 5800 Large AC NEMA motors are offering 15 percent more power than conventional designs. They motors offer more HP (horse power) per pound than conventional TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) motors but with a smaller frame size in some power ratings. This helps save space, up to 8 inches in overall length in some cases, which enables more compact installations on oil platforms and in refineries. They also meet American Petroleum Institute 541 and 547 standards for motors operating in the oil and gas industry. The new AXR motors also offer improved cooling, a critical factor to extend the life of the motor. An internal cooling loop circulates air inside the motor, moving heat to the frame. An external fan blows air over the frame to remove the heat. “The new cooling configuration offers a more 16 POWERTECH REVIEW
thermally equalized motor, eliminating hot spots that have been seen in TEFC motors,” says Charles Blankenship, Large AC Motor Product Manager, ABB. “Better cooling reduces the thermal stresses on the insulation system, which helps improve the motor’s longevity.” As the main terminal box and auxiliary box can be mounted in several positions, installation and maintenance are easy. This also means fewer spares are needed, which saves

Anatomy of Power Industry Internationally, the power industry is divided in the following verticals: Power Generation Power Transmission and Distribution
A
lthough each vertical mentioned above has a different approach towards engineering, the need for documentation is imperative in every stream. Different standards are followed in generating these documents right from international standards to company specific standards. With the Industry 4.0 standards being evolved , it is now only the Engineering aspect of the Power Generation, Transmission or Distribution but also the running plants are getting ready for the future. However the conventional engineering tools are still having difficulty supporting it properly and efficiently. This concerns both the structuring of plants and understanding the neutral SCL. 20 POWERTECH REVIEW

Currently, manufacturer specific tools are used to engineer and Substation Automation (SA) system which covers only specific system level. As a result, designers have to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;juggleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with a variety of tools and waste a lot of time on data entry and translation between tools Engineering Needs: In the traditional power station engineering is determined by very stringent specifications and a hierarchical structure within plant documentation. In that context, the Reference Designation System for Power Plants (RDSPP) system of identification that has latterly replaced the KKS Standard demands unique definitions, right down to the last device. Using a modern
engineering tool, the management of these demands is a convenient and efficient job. However the energy transition has signaled the arrival of a radically different energy supplier environment that is rapidly surpassing the traditional tools. In future, energy will increasingly come from many de-centralized units, some of them very small; biogas plants run by agricultural companies, individual wind turbines, small combined heat and power systems in private homes, solar roofs or the battery of an electric vehicle connected to a charging station are just a handful of examples. Until now there has been no standard that governs how all these distributed energy suppliers should be reliably documented to meet the requirements www.powertechreview.com
TECH TRENDS
of the energy supply sector. It is not yet even established for those parts of major, professionally-operated photovoltaic arrays or wind farms that are not laid out for direct grid supply. Each to their own plan : Solar panels, cables, combiner boxes for individual solar array strings and their transmission circuits, wind turbines or CHP stations are documented by their manufacturers using a range of different tools, identification systems and standards. Even the levels of detail in the representations differ. For example, because all solar panels are the same, a multiple representation for individual panels does not help. However, their layout including the www.powertechreview.com
cabling of the entire area and where the cables meet up must be expressed in a precise wiring diagram. By contrast, for other types of generating plant, documentation is required for every single one of the many different devices in use, complete with their connections. Regardless of the context, be it for diversified suppliers combining similar tasks from different departments into new organizational units, for example for planning urban infrastructure solutions, or for specialized plant builders or regional suppliers: manufacturers and operators are equally affected by the need to homogenize their tool environments. Staff resources can be deployed with much greater flexibility. IT is free of the demand to update and maintain a whole range of tools, to say nothing of the expertise that is required of service staff for that purpose. Without clear standardization and a common benchmark it is impossible for local suppliers to manage many decentralized energy sources efficiently. Wind farms are planned and documented according to mechanical engineering standards, biogas plants use different process engineering-oriented tools and a traditional energy supply solution, while photovoltaic systems, at least from the point of view of electrical planning and documentation, are so to speak gigantic cabling projects. Various departments are involved in generation of the various documents. The requirement is to have coordination between all departments at each level. Each department has its own tools for generation of documents. Linking all these departments is a tremendous task for a Project Manager to deliver. This leads to have standardization and a common Tool for all Engineering Documentation. Dileep Miskin of UL who are partners of Aucotec in India says that

Investments both on the software and human resource front for the users. UL can contribute in getting the users trained in quicker time. Support for IEC 81346: EB supports IEC standard 81346 which prescribes plant construction as an object model with three independent views “Product”, “Function” and “Installation Location”. It is essential for international tenders. Aucotec has succeeded in being the first provider of a system that not only graphically maps these views, but also provides them in an editable and purely alphanumerical form to full depth. Its database-driven nature and object orientation supports the IEC standard perfectly. A second symbol library is then unnecessary. The system uses the existing, centrally managed symbol configurations, which are adapted, if necessary, to the IEC virtually at the press of a button or click of the mouse but which can also be used in other standards in parallel. Furthermore, EB enables the integration of external or altered projects into the existing IEC object model simply via drag & drop concept. The supplied cabinet with all its built-in devices can be included in the location structure with just a few clicks. Web Communication Server for Industry 4.0 The new Web Communication Server

This ensures that information can be exchanged at any time. The data model feature of EB is always updated with external additions and can display these changes without additional user interaction. This direct M2M communication is one of the preconditions to the ability to excel in engineering for Industry 4.0. The Internet of Things, so the required interconnection, cannot be achieved without Web technology. The WCS uses globally valid standards such as WSDL, SOAP, RESTful API, JSON and WCF, & there is no extra work involved for the IT Department. Mobile access to the engineering data via established Web standards makes predictive maintenance convenient and always up-to-date, without the detour via client applications. Way forward: Dileep Says “The software is extremely useful for any Industry who is in Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Engineering. It is also equally useful for the existing/ functional Power plants to keep their plant documentation up to date using the Digital Twins Technology. The easy navigation between the documents helps to finding out the correct route to diagnose the problems thus reduces the down time The Engineer can modify the documents as per the changes he has done in the plant & hence the documents really become an As Built or As Maintained document achieving an Active digitization of the plant documentation with latest updates” Substation Configuration Tool (SCT) in Engineering Base Challenge Substations for the distribution of 24 POWERTECH REVIEW

electrical power contain numerous devices such as control and protection systems. They must communicate with each other in order to coordinate the switching operations in the plants. The accompanying comprehensive IEC standard 61850 is the consequence of digitizing the industry with increasing intelligence and complexity in today’s substations. In addition to the uniform description of the plant structure, the standard also determines the type of communication in order to increase plant availability. The decisive factor is the IEC specification for a manufacturer-neutral description of a plant. For example, according to IEC 61850-6, the description of the configuration and the structures of the protection and control technology in digital substations should be carried out in the SCL format (Substation Configuration Language). Thus, the standard introduces an effective and unique feature for the area of substation automation (SA). However, conventional engineering tools are still having difficulty supporting the IEC properly and efficiently. This concerns both the structuring of the plants and the understanding of the neutral SCL. Currently, manufacturer-specific tools are used to engineer an SA system, each covering only a specific system level. As a result, designers have to “juggle” with a variety of tools and waste a lot of time on data entry and translation between the tools. Solution : The communication standard IEC 61850 promises to simplify this process. With its object-oriented data model and formal description language, it supports reusability, component interoperability, and a consistent engineering process. The Substation Configuration Tool (SCT) is the consistent implementation of the IEC 61850 requirement for a manufacturer-neutral configuration tool based on SCL. From the graphical input of the
primary technology to the modelling of abstract function nodes and data objects to the linking of plant model and system components, SCT generates the target system-independent configuration data for station control systems in compliance with the standard. This way, SCT enables integrated system engineering, and valuable data is archived securely for the future in standardized format. In cooperation with H&S and AUCOTEC, SCT has been seamlessly integrated into the database-based platform Engineering Base (EB). The result: an optimal combination of electro technical planning and the standard-compliant description of the switchgear according to IEC 61850-6 in a user-friendly interface. This makes it easy to create single-line diagrams in EB. The synchronous coupling enables EB to transfer the plant model to the SCT. This creates the SSD file in the further workflow, which is synchronously assigned to the respective object in EB in the same work step Advantages : Data for the description of digital substations required by IEC 61850-6 does not need to be entered and maintained redundantly. Consistent standardization means that system builders and operators only need one system configuration tool. This means much less training and maintenance input and easy interchangeability of the devices. With SCT the data for the specification file can be retrieved from Engineering Base at any time and transferred to the IEC 61850-compliant engineering process for the plant configuration. The ease of use and automated creation of the ICD files shields the user from the complexity, simplifies the configuration and facilitates the concentration on the application itself. The process chain thus becomes significantly more consistent, from the overview circuit diagram to the engineering details of the devices. Adjustment errors are www.powertechreview.com
TECH TRENDS avoided and users save both time and money. Data and documentation are sustainable in the long term and thus ensure a high degree of security of investment. Aucotec hosts Power Day in Germany: Energy generators, plant engineers, network operators and power distributors met at “Power Day” in Hanover at the invitation of the Aucotec. The main theme was the future of engineering in the power sector, which is undergoing a massive change. Talks by RWE, Emerson, Siemens and Braunschweiger Netz GmbH gave delegates a comprehensive insight into the challenges of different fields and suggestions for links that will create synergies, between P&I, electrical engineering and control system software. “Third Generation CAE” Kurt Oswald, Senior Key Expert from the Siemens Energy Management Division in Erlangen gave a comprehensive survey of the relevant standards and the demands and opportunities for implementation in engineering – from the first plant layouts at the planning stage
through to operation and repair. Following on from the digitized CAD drawing and the circuit diagram with derived lists, he described the EB engineering model as CAE of the ‘Next generation’ that has gone beyond the traditional file structure. This is an important reason for Siemens’ deployment of EB as a central element of engineering in the field of energy transmission. “Today’s demands on documentation cannot be fulfilled with the tool we have used hitherto, whose basic concept dates from the 1980s,” explained Kurt Oswald. As an example, he cited reference designations complying with IEC 81346 and the US ANSI standard. In addition, the opportunities for process optimization in their legacy tool had been exhausted. Time saved with the fun factor The closing talk by Michael Weddehead of the “Plants” department at Braunschweiger Netz GmbH highlighted the network operators’ view of engineering. Starting with the first steps on a 380kV control panel pilot project for TenneT, up to today’s
position after several years’ experience with EB’s energy and utilities sector module (EVU), Wedde illustrated a variety of means by which more modern processes provide significantly greater efficiency. In the case of variant handling, the number of templates could be reduced by about two-thirds. Standardization, e.g. through the use of reports, on its own achieve a reduction in project planning time of about 20%. He was visibly impressed by the motivational factor that the platform brought with it. “The staff really enjoys working with it,” he believes. “What Aucotec have managed in recent months is massive, it really is dynamic! EB Power EVU can already be used in a range of scenarios and we can see from the breadth of today’s presentations here that the system has what it takes to be the sector-wide solution for the whole energy sector. Company is going to expand its using EB!” All speakers concurrently agreed their assessment of the platform’s sustainability, and delegates also confirmed the desire for a sector-wide standard.

E- Cars In India - Still A Distant Reality?
T
he Government of India is promoting renewable energy to cut harmful emissions. At the UN Action Climate Summit on September 23, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that he was raising the target for renewable energy capacity from 175 GW to 450 GW. He said that he was going to make the transport sector greener by switching to e-cars. Getting green is not an easy task. Producing lithium-ion batteries, which power e-cars, at a scale that is both economically viable and readily available (in the same way that China does) is a tough task. So how did China do it? In the 2000s, China began investing heavily on research and development (R&D). Its domestic spending on R&D rose from $9 billion in 2000 to $293 billion in 2018, making it the second-highest spender in the world, behind the US. Along the way, China identified and acquired leading technology through acquisitions and contracts. Gradually, it became less and less reliant on foreign technology. For example, China had spent 13 years producing LCD panels with the help of Japanese and Korean corporations before it became the second-largest LCD panel-maker in the world in 2016. In 2004, China had worked out technology-transfer agreements with multiple foreign corporations to develop high-speed rail before it was able to develop a superior technology indigenously by 2017. India is the cheapest solar producer in the world this year. But the growth of solar power surged between the period of 2015-18 when the US supported India with multi-billion dollar programmes to boost clean initiatives and
32 POWERTECH REVIEW
| JANUARY 2020
the period in which Chinese investment in renewables soared. China accounted for 45 per cent of the world’s total investments on renewables in 2017 and 89 per cent of India’s solar cell imports last year. In this period, India’s solar capacity had risen by 21.5 GW. Before 2015, it had only 3.7 GW of installed solar capacity. If India didn’t have sun all-year-round, it would have to worry about storing energy when the sun went down, much as developed economies like the US. This is also where lithium steps in. Lithium is light, can store a lot of energy and handle a lot of recharge cycles, rendering it particularly useful to today’s green technology. It’s no wonder that demand for lithium is expected to grow three-fold from its demand in 2017 in the next six years. China
does not have the highest lithium output in the world, but it does dominate the lithium supply chain owing to Chinese technology that makes both extracting the mineral and processing it far cheaper than the rest of the world. Lithium-ion batteries, which were priced at more than $1,000 per kWh in 2010, is expected to drop to less than $100 by 2024. Last year, they cost $176 per kWh. India, at present, imports a 100 per cent of all lithium-ion cells that are used in e-car battery packs. Though India has agreements with the Bolivian government-which has nearly one-fourth of the world’s lithium reserves-to gain access to the vast reserves, it will be difficult for India could claim success without access to technology. India simply does not have access to that kind of technology because only a few companies in the world do. The government, in turn, holds a tight-grip on the mineral sector itself. Less than 20 per cent of what geologists call “geochemical mapping”, to locate where new minerals might be located, has been completed to date. Hence It will be an uphill task to go green in the transport sector. www.powertechreview.com

A
quaculture, more commonly known as fish farming, is a rapidly growing sector. Companies such as Aller Aqua, which produces both freshwater and saltwater fish feed, is constantly looking for ways to improve its production technology and processes to benefit from this growth. Operating from headquarters at Christiansfeld, near Kolding, Denmark, Aller Aqua has been established for over 50 years and today has factories in Denmark, Poland, Germany and Egypt, exporting products to more than 60 countries worldwide.

product range, consisting of feed for 30 species of fish. As a result, production schedules are demanding, which is why the company sought to maximise its potential gains when the DC motor on one of the company’s main extruders at Christiansfeld had to be replaced. “Aller Aqua had a particular interest in energy efficiency for its new motor solution as extruding feed stuff is a very energy-intensive process,” explained Carl Erik Niemann, Sales Engineer – Drives & Motors Technology at Nidec Industrial Automation Denmark A/S. “They knew this would help boost both competitiveness and sustainable development.” After a comprehensive evaluation of the market, the company opted for a 310 kW (2400 rpm) Dyneo® permanent magnet synchronous motor. Offering an efficiency level exceeding IE4 requirements, this
option will enable the saving of at least 135,000 kWh of electricity per year. “Beyond energy performance, Aller Aqua is now able to benefit from significant savings in maintenance costs, allied to increased machine availability,” said Mr Niemann. “The previous DC motor featured a brush and collector system, which comprised wear parts.” The implementation of the Dyneo® motor also allowed local service centre Ølgod Elektro to simplify the existing installation by eliminating the cooling/ventilation circuit required previously by the replaced IP23 DC motor. Part of the Express Availability offer from Leroy-Somer, Dyneo® LSRPM motor is available in a compact or IEC standard version. The solution is easy to integrate and offers rapid return on investment – fewer than three years in the case of Aller Aqua. JANUARY 2020 | POWERTECH REVIEW
