Alternative method for equipment condition monitoring on South African mines
(North-West University, 2018)The practicality of accurate condition monitoring and fault diagnostics depends on the type of parameter measured and the accuracy of the measurement. In the South African mining industry, it is common to find large ... -
The application of signal processing and artificial intelligence techniques in the condition monitoring of rotating machinery
(North-West University, 2003)Condition monitoring of critical machinery has many economic benefits. The primary objective is to detect faults, for example on rolling element bearings, at an early stage to take corrective action prior to the catastrophic ... -
Condition based reliability simulator for power stations
(North-West University (South Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2018)The SA Power Utility operates 27 power stations with a total nominal capacity of 41,995 MW, comprising 35,726 MW of coal-fired stations, 1,860 MW of nuclear, 2,409 MW of gas–fired, 2,000 MW hydro and pumped–storage stations ... -
A condition based reliability simulator framework based on a heuristic fault model
(NWU, 2018)There are significant concerns as well as remedial efforts by the SA Power Utility to improve the generation plant performance that showed a significant decline over the past number of years. There is general consensus on ... -
Condition monitoring analysis methods for electrical machines: a review
(SPC, 2018)This paper provides a review on condition monitoring analysis methods for electrical machines. An overview of condition monitoring is provided where online as well as offline monitoring is discussed. A section on vibration ... -
Condition monitoring thermal properties of a 20A hydraulic-magnetic MCB
(NWU, 2018)Heat is one of the major causes of degradation which can cause a reduction in performance, reliability and life span of miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) [1]. In order to diagnose the condition of electrical equipment, ... -
Determining the integrity of single-source condition-based maintenance data
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2022)Data plays a vital role in modern society. With an influx of sensors, data generation is rapidly increasing. Having access to these vast amounts of data enables data-driven decision-making. However, reliable data are needed ... -
Developing an integrated information system to assess the operational condition of deep level mine equipment
(North-West University, 2018)Deep gold and platinum mines in South Africa are under pressure to remain profitable. These mines typically operate at depths of more than 2 km below surface. Complex systems are used to supply the underground operations ... -
An energy-based approach to condition monitoring of industrial processes
(Elsevier, 2015)Condition monitoring has traditionally been deployed for the monitoring of a single component, such as a rotating electrical machine. The application of condition monitoring to an entire process plant has not yet received ... -
Energy-based fault detection for an autothermal reformer
(Elsevier, 2016)Condition monitoring has traditionally been deployed for the monitoring of a single component, such as a rotating machine. The application of condition monitoring techniques to entire petrochemical process plants, however, ...
