Closing the Loop Driving Reliability, Safety and Energy Improvements

Jim Cahill

Emerson’s Brian Joe and Ben Skal presented on Plantweb technologies and how they help facilitate digital transformation initiatives. Brian opened noting that process control is all based on the See-Decide-Act closed-loop model. Typically it is an open-loop process for managing reliability, safety and energy efficiency. By closing the loop improvements can be made in these areas to improve operational performance. One…

Avoiding Low Voltage Electrical Asset Outages

Jim Cahill

Early in my career as a freshly-minted electrical engineer in the mid-1980s, I worked on projects on offshore oil & gas production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. These platforms required turbine or reciprocating engine gas generators with diesel engine backup for when gas was not available from the production stream. Low voltage (LV) distribution systems, typically at 480VAC were used to power the pumps, compressors…
