There is no clear definition of what a M&D centre is and how it can be applied to a plant or fleet of plants. It can be anything from simply gathering signals from existing monitoring systems and displaying them in an interface, to a massive installation of new sensors and systems, delivering new information and analytics both on a detailed level and providing an overview of plant health and economics. The concept of M&D centre can be applied to a fleet of assets in a similar way, in-spite the fleet consisting of different types of generation assets.
This webinar was jointly arranged by the Norwegian/Swedish Forum for digitalization in hydropower and the Energiforsk Digitalization in nuclear applications program.

Monitoring and Diagnostics Program Best Practices Michael Taylor, Electric Power Research Institute, EPRI Scope: Unlike Main Control Rooms in electric utilities, monitoring and diagnostics (M&D) programs are dissimilar in practice. The seven focus areas of any M&D program and the business surrounding the program are identical regardless of the application. EPRI’s Integrated Monitoring and Diagnostics program is in the process of creating a multi-volume M&D Best Practices guide applicable to any M&D program in any industry for any application. This presentation will describe the product and outline some of the best practices to be included in the document. |

Implementing Advanced Monitoring & Analytics Vincent Roy, Hydro Québec Scope: Hydro-Québec operates a fleet of 62 hydroelectric generating stations, representing assets worth $28.6 billion and installed capacity of 36.9 GW, making it one of the largest hydroelectricity producers in the world. It’s hydroelectric fleet also includes 27 large reservoirs with combined storage capacity of 176 TWh, as well as 668 dams and 99 control structures. In 2019 Hydro-Québec initiated the Center for Analysis and Predictive Maintenance (CAMP) to help in the monitoring and diagnostic of its production assets. The objective of the presentation is to give an overview of the mission of the new center, the benefits and the vision. |
