Over the past 10 years, the natural gas industry has incurred costs in excess of $1 billion dollars to comply with NOx (Nitric Oxide and Nitrogen Dioxide) emissions reduction regulations for large, stationary enginesFigure 1: Enginuity used LabVIEW and PXI to simulate the engine inputs and outputs to their iFLEX engine monitoring and control system in both development and validationEnginuity Selects NI Tools to Improve the Efficiency of Large Internal Combustion EnginesAuthor: Chad Fletcher, President, Automation Business Unit – EnginuityIndustry: Industrial Controls/ Devices/ Systems, Oil and Gas/ Refining/ Chemicals, Machines/MechanicsProducts: PXI, CompactRIO, DAQ, LabVIEW, LabVIEW RT, LabVIEW FPGAThe Challenge: Simulating engine and compressor I/O accurately for development and validation of an advanced emission-reducing engine controllerThe Solution: A PXI and LabVIEW system selected for software flexibility that can be configured to simulate engines and compressor from various manufacturers Large stationary internal combustion (IC) engines widely used in the oil and gas industry for driving compressors are responsible for significant emissions of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide, collectively known as NOx, into the environment. NOx emissions are by-products of the combustion of fossil fuels such as diesel or natural gas. NOx becomes a significant component of smog in cities because it forms ozone when it combines with hydrocarbons in the atmosphere. Ozone, a highly reactive gas, not only damages plant life, but also causes harm to human lungs, resulting in congestion and reduced lung capacity. Over the past 10 years, the natural gas industry has incurred costs in excess of $1 billion dollars to comply with NOx emissions reduction regulations.For the past 20 years, Enginuity has designed and installed efficiency improvement and emission reduction technologies for large engines including fuel injection systems, engine monitoring, and turbochargers that are retrofitted to existing machinery and is the recognized leader in the oil and gas industry for emissions reductions. One of Enginuity’s products, the iFLEXTM, a unique control system that provides an integrated solution for condition monitoring, engine/compressor control, and enhanced safety shutdown for reciprocating equipment, is used on a variety of engines including Waukesha, Ingersoll-Rand, and Caterpillar. Enginuity needed a flexible engine simulation system for all of the engine types that the iFLEX system supports. So the engineers at Enginuity chose National Instruments data acquisition devices, PXI hardware, and LabVIEW to build an engine/compressor simulator for factory acceptance testing of all control panels. The simulator is used for both development and validation of controllers by simulating the inputs from the engine and acquiring the output data from the controller. Enginuity’s controller systems and technology reduce over 122,000 tons of NOx emissions annually, an amount that is the equivalent of removing 6 million vehicles from U.S. roads each year.Today, Enginuity is in the development cycle for their next generation of condition monitoring and control systems for compressors used in natural gas extraction. They are using CompactRIO systems to prototype and validate their designs. The flexibility and high-speed control provided by LabVIEW FPGA allows the engineers to adjust control and processing parameters on-the-fly for more rapid iterations and efficiency improvements. Initial results from one of the first prototype installations for reciprocating natural gas compressors at Ariel Corporation are very promising for reduced fuel consumption and increased machinery uptime.
  5. Next Slide: Monitoring leads to optimizationMonitoring power can be important whether you are using it, or generating it.If you are using power, poor quality can:>Cause machine failures or excessive wear>Damage data writing and storage equipment (servers and CPUs)>Cause you to incur fines and extra charges from your local utility companyIf you are generating power, poor power can:>Impact other generators on your local grid (other wind turbines or solar cells)>Cause the grid to which you are selling power remove you as a provider>Lead to extra problems if you are using the power as wellPower quality issues can occur in many places, your grid, the local utility company, regional power plant and monitoring the power along the way is an important part to troubleshooting bigger electrical problems.
  6. Transition: Let’s take a look at some of the analysis that goes into monitoring power….move from the why to the how.
  7. Next 5 Slides: IEEE spec followed by image of SAG/Swell/Interruption Here are some of the common analysis functions that are performed as part of a power monitoring system. All of these calculations utilize waveform data of current and voltage.
  8. Harmonic analysis is important because extraneous signals add noise to the system which can be a problem for machines, measurement equipment, as well as audio/video recording equipment.
  9. These next few slides are examples/definitions and you can move through them pretty quickly. These are defined by IEEE standards.Sag is a decrease in voltage supply. Duration is measured in time or cycles.
  10. Swell is an increase in voltage beyond 10% of the RMS nominal value.
  11. Next Slide: The power Triangle and Power Factor CalculationDefinition moves from “Sag” to “Interruption” at the 10% of nominal RMS voltage level.
  12. Next Slide: demoPower Factor is a measure of efficiency for your grid or machine being monitored. Reactive power is the perpendicular component of the power supplied and thus is wasted power. The electric company used resources to produce and transmit this power and you wasted it. Commercial enterprises are fined if their power factor falls below a certain value. This range, .95 for example, will vary by local regulations and by utility provider. For this reason, industrial manufacturers and commercial users need to monitor, and sometimes adjust, their power factor in order to avoid financial penalties.
  13. Sensors are available for a wide variety of uses. Many are merely transformers that bring high voltage and current levels down to a level measureable by standard instrumentation. Some sensors output RMS values and some will even output PF.Clamp style sensors have a hinge making installation on existing facilities easier.
  14. - We’ll start by looking into our first application discussion for today, structural health monitoringSHM is growing field of structural engineering that aims at providing quantitative information about the health of structures such as bridges, buildings, dams, tunnels, pipelines, platforms, or ships.The purpose of SHM is to build a more intelligent and safer civil infrastructureThis is accomplished through installation of appropriate sensing systems to continuously monitor the health of civil structures through strain, pressure, temperature, vibration, displacement, and other sensing elements.Transition: Strain, pressure, temperature... We’re use to these physical measurements. So how does monitoring these civil structures differ from our typical structural test applications?
  15. The stats are rather scary, and mind you this is just in the US. There are over 590,000 bridges inventoried, and approximately 74,000 of those have been rated as structurally deficient by analysis (in many cases visual analysis). A major problem is that there simply isn’t enough money to go out and fix all of these structurally deficient bridges. The American Society of Civil Engineers estimates it would take close to $200B to eliminate these problems over 20 years.The solution as presented by the experts in this industry is to improve upon data collection on the health of both existing and new bridge construction. The belief is that the available monitoring technology is more accurate and less expensive than the current inspection methods used today. There’s a lot of money at stake for this solution; much of that funding starts by going into the academic sector for research purposes. We’re also seeing a lot of money from State Departments of Transportation funding private structural engineering firms to instrument up large bridges, where many of these engineering firms start in academia and move into the private sector.Transition: And with such hardware products as PXI, cDAQ, cRIO, cFP and with LabVIEW, NI is strategically positioned to win a lot of this business. In fact, we already have been winning several large bridge monitoring opportunities.
  16. NI is also monitoring the Rion-Antirion (sometimes called Rio-Antirio) cable-stayed bridge in Greece. This 3-km bridge is in area of high seismic activity as each end of the bridge resides on a different tectonic plate. Unlike the Donghai bridge, the requirements were to monitor a mix of sensors from dynamic to static. Sensors include accelerometers, strain gages, load cells, displacement sensors, water level, temperature, LVDTs, and weather stations.By working with a system integrator, Advitam, a subsidiary of Vinci Construction in France, we were able to successfully install 4 PXI systems running LabVIEW Real-Time making all necessary sensor measurements (372 channels in total). The 4 chassis are networked through fiber-optic Ethernet back to a central PC installed in the operations building. They choose LabVIEW because of the flexibility of creating a customizable user-interface, reliability with LabVIEW Real-Time, and for remote access to the system.
  17. NI is also participating in the 2008 Olympics held in Beijing. The centerpiece of the 2008 summer Olympics is the Beijing National Stadium, nicknamed the “Bird Nest”. CGM Engineering, an NI Alliance Member in California, helped develop a continuous monitoring system based on CompactRIO and LabVIEW. The system has been in place throughout the construction of the stadium to allow for seismic monitoring conditions to aid in structural model validation. The multi-system monitoring system is using GPS synchronization with CompactRIO. A similar monitoring system is setup in the Beijing Aquatics Center, another building to be used during the 2008 Olympic events.
  18. And just to continue to beat the drum, there are additional bridges, structures, wells, and pipelines that NI is helping to continuously monitor. Just to name two more is the Naini-Allahabad Bridge in India, and...
  19. A small bridge being used for research of structural health monitoring at University of California San Diego. This one in particular is synchronizing acquired electrical signals to acquired images via cameras.Additional NotesA bridge testbed has been established on the Voigt Drive / Interstate-5 overcrossing, on campus at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The Testbed is envisioned as a collaborative environment for sensor network and related decision support technologies. An off-the-shelf $50k modular and expandable continuousmonitoring system based on LabVIEW and National Instruments products is deployed, capable of supporting over 250 channels of sensors and 3 cameras. Of particular interest is the integration of the image and sensor data acquisition into a single computer, thereby providing hardware synchronization between the sensors and cameras. Time-synchronized video and acceleration are now being recorded continuously. All systems operate on-line via a high speed wireless Internet network, allowing real-time control and data transmission. The current data is suitable for performing system identification of dynamic response associated with vehicle/structure interaction.This Testbed is available to collaborators worldwide for verification of new sensor technologies, data acquisition/transmission algorithms, data mining strategies, and most importantly, for decision support efforts. Sensors and applications span the horizons of homeland and boarder security and control, multi-hazard natural events and post-event response, and environmental/biological monitoring.
  20. One customer care about is the ability to connect up the different types of sensors. Here is a list of sensing technologies ranging from strain to vibration to temperature and more. Different sensing technologies which may measure the same thing (notice the number of sensors to measure strain, pressure, displacement, etc.), are used in different ways in structural health monitoring.
  21. Here is an example of monitoring a highway overpass. In a simple case like this, three different strain sensing techniques are used, two different displacement sensing, and there’s still more. In fact, this is an under exaggeration of the number and types of sensors used to monitor the health of a bridge.To be successful in structural applications, it’s important that we’re aware of these sensors, how they work, what they can measure, and how they can be used with our products.
  22. In strain alone, there’s at least three different sensors that can be used to measure the same thing, some of which you are likely more familiar with than others.By a show of hands, how many of you are familiar with resistive foil? Vibrating wire? Fiber optic?Everyone in here should be familiar with resistive foil strain measurements as it’s one of the most common measurements made with our products.
  23. In fact, in 2008 we’re expanding our strain measurement capabilities in the C Series form factor. Complementing the already existing 9237 and 9219 strain solutions, are the new 9235 and 9236 – 8-ch quarter bridge inputs per module at 120 and 350 Ohms.Based on your feedback and that of your customers, we have listened and acted on the importance of connectivity. The 9236 and 9236 will provide connectivity through 24-position screw terminal. Also on the roadmap are additional connectivity options for the 9237 via 37-pin DSUB, and the 9219 via LEMO.Applicable for Asia summit – we are also developing a 37-pin DSUB cable to Tajimi connector. Tajimi connectors are a standard connector type used for strain gage connectivity in Japan.There are no committed ship dates on these products, but an estimate on price and availability is as follows:9235 $1199 Mar 20089236 $1199 Mar 20089237 w/ Dsub $999 Q2 2008Dsub to Tajimi cable ?? ??9219 w/ Lemo $1499 Q1 2008
  24. The point of today’s session is not to make you more familiar with resistive foil strain gages (but if that would be helpful to you, let us know and we can help). Rather, I want to focus in on two types of strain measurements that we all are likely less familiar with, but nonetheless is equally if not more important than resistive foil in SHM – vibrating wire and fiber optic.While vibrating wire and fiber optic sensors are different in terms of connectivity, price, and places of use, both of these sensing techniques share something in common – they both measure strain by a comparison of frequency. Vibrating wire measures strain by comparing measured frequency to the nominal frequency of the sensor at rest (or original placement). Fiber optic equates strain to a change in the frequency of the light reflected.With that in mind, I’m going to go over vibrating wire sensors in more detail over the next couple of minutes. However, keep in mind that fiber optic sensors are similar in that it’s detecting change in frequency.
  25. Vibrating wire transducers are commonly used to measure strain, load, pressure, and water level. These sensors output a frequency signal generated by a vibrating wire.Because frequencies rather than voltage levels are measured, these transducers are often better suited than resistive bridge transducers to applications in electrically noisy environments or those requiring long lead lengths. Vibrating wire transducers also have a reputation for long-term stability.Vibrating wire sensors provide flexibility with installation as they can hooked up as a surface mount sensors on steel or concrete, or they can be embedded directly inside of concrete or rebar. Something vibrating wire sensors are not ideal for is dynamic measurements. For instance, you would not use a vibrating wire sensor to monitor the active load of moving traffic as it would change to quickly with time. A resistive bridge-based sensor is much better for such a measurement.
  26. A vibrating wire sensor functions much like a piano string. In a piano, a string is held in position and pulled to specific tension as to create a known tone, or a known frequency. Upon excitation onto that piano string (striking the key), the string vibrates at its resonant frequency and produces a tone.With vibrating wire sensors, strain is measured using a length of steel wire tensioned between two mounting blocks that are physically connected to the surface being studied. Deformations (strain changes) of the surface will cause the two mounting blocks to move relative to one another, thus altering the tension in the steel wire.The frequency in the wire is measured by plucking the wire and measuring its resonant frequency of vibration. The wire is plucked, and its resonant frequency measured, by means of an electromagnetic coil positioned next to the wire.In addition to a frequency measurement, vibrating wire sensor probes contain a thermistor used to compensate for error in the measurement caused by change in temperature. It serves a similar purpose to a CJC source in a thermocouple measurement.In summary, in order to interface and correctly make a measurement from a vibrating wire sensor, you must:Pluck the wire by sending a signal to an electromagnetic coilMeasure the resonance frequency of the vibrating wireMeasure the temperature of the sensor through the provided thermistorAnd apply correct mathematical scaling equations to convert frequency to strain.
  27. The process of exciting and measuring a vibrating wire sensor is often referred to as “pluck and read”. Pluck and read involves exciting the electromagnetic coils with a swept frequency, allowing the wire to settle to its resonant frequency, and then measuring the returned signal.Typically, the sensor requires a 150 ms pulse to sweep through all the frequencies. This swept frequency causes the wire to vibrate at each of the individual frequencies. Ideally, all frequencies except the resonant frequency of the wire attenuate in a short time. The wire vibrates with the resonant frequency for a relatively long time, and as it does so it induces the same frequency on the “pickup” coil which is then sent back to the measurement system. The returned signal is a small-scale signal, on the order of 0.5 to 5 mV. Therefore, amplification is important in order to accurately measure the returned signal.After waiting for the non-resonant frequencies to attenuate (20 ms), the measurement system can make a frequency or period measurement to accurately calculate strain.
  28. The measured strain is a function of the difference in the frequency measured to that of initial frequency measured under no load. To correct for non-linearity, the frequencies are first squared before taking their difference. Then, by multiplying by a manufacturer spec’d gage factor, the correct strain value can be calculated.The frequency of the wire is a function of the material properties of the wire itself – length of the wire, mass per length, and the tension of the wire.Now this is a over-simplification of correctly calculating strain from a vibrating wire sensor as this does not take into account temperature correction or placement of the sensor. However, this information is explained and understood by the sensor manufacturer.
  29. As structural health monitoring is a new area of focus for NI, we don’t claim to necessarily have all the answers nor the perfect products to easily connect up to these different types of measurements. This is the case for vibrating wire sensors – we can make the measurement, but it involves some knowledge of correctly setting up the HW connectivity and programming the software.Vibrating wire sensors are a 4-wire (sometimes 5 if a shield connection is provide) sensor. 2 of the wires connect to a thermistor and are used strictly for temperature measurement. The other 2 wires are used to both transmit the excitation signal going from the measurement system to the sensor, and then to receive the response of the vibrating wire picked up by the electromagnetic coils and transmit it back to the measurement unit. So two wires are used to send and receive.Based on the properties of the vibrating wire sensor, there are some basic assumptions that can be made to help in proper excitation and measurement of this sensor. For instance, to prevent over-driving the two wires used to transmit and receive the frequency signal, you must first start a measurement by driving the wires via timed digital output. After sweeping through the necessary frequencies and then waiting some time to allow for non-resonant frequencies to settle out (typically 150 ms plus another 20-40 ms), you must then disable your pulse train and digital module such that it is not actively driving those wires, and then enable your measurement. Such timing is relatively simple to accomplish with FPGA, and by means of counter/timers, the same can be accomplished with NI-DAQmx.To help with winning these opportunities, we are in the process of building a vibrating wire reference design. I’m here to tell you...
  30. To aid in connectivity to PLCs, dataloggers, and data acquisition systems, there are 3rd party vibrating wire signal conditioners that we can reference to provide for a clean, and easy solution. Depending on the conditioner, some provide all necessary signal conditioning and output a 0-5 V or 0-20 mA signal. Others just provide amplification to improve accuracy. As is the case of the LabVIEW reference design, we will provide you with more information on using and referencing these 3rd party conditioners as we learn more.
  31. In summary of vibrating wire sensors we’ll look at pros versus cons. <read the slide>As we saw earlier, vibrating wire is just one of the many sensors and sensing techniques used in structural health monitoring. Another sensing technology used in structural monitoring is fiber optic.
  32. Another sensing technology used in structural monitoring is fiber optic. As we previously mentioned, vibrating wire and fiber optic sensors are similar in that they equate strain to a change in frequency. With fiber optic sensors, the frequency being measured is that of the light reflected.A fiber optic sensor system consists of a fiber optic cable connected to a specific measurement device, commonly known as a fiber optic interrogator. The interrogator emits, receives, and converts the light energy into an electrical signal. The cable is the physical component that transports the light into and out of areas of interest.The cable’s core is composed of glass or plastic surrounded by a cladding material. The difference in densities of the core and the cladding enable the propagation of light within the cable. Along the length of the cable, Bragg gratings are inscribed at measurement areas of interest. A Bragg grating is a reflector constructed inside optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light, and transmits all others. Think of a Fiber Bragg Gratting (FBG) as a filter for light.As different properties of the cable change (i.e. strain, temperature, pressure, load), the FBG will change resulting in a different frequency being reflected.
  33. Moving forward in 2008 and beyond, it’s our intention to provide you with the necessary information on fiber optic sensor measurements to help you be successful in these applications, but until then here’s a basic overview on the type of interfacing HW. Preliminary research shows that there are three types of optical interrogators used for fiber optic sensor measurements – standalone, portable, and PXI.Micron Optics, based in Atlanta, GA, is a leader in development of standalone optical interrogators. These standalone devices take care of all of the interfacing and then connect up to a PC via Ethernet. While there are various competitive offerings from other companies, it appears that Micron Optics is the OEM for all of these products. HBM, who is heavily marketing their fiber optic measurement capabilities, appear to OEM Micron Optic’s product.Two other companies that have their hand in optical interrogation include FiberSensing and Gavea Sensors. Both of whom are NI alliance members based in Portugal and Brazil, respectively. Additionally, FiberSensing has a preliminary drawing of a PXI interrogator and multiplexor on their webpage.
  34. Fiber optic sensors also have some high-level pros and cons of use as outlined on the slide.<read the slide>
  35. Synchronization of measurements across a large structure is very important in SHM, and this is an area where NI excels. Because the frequencies of interest in most structural monitoring applications are limited to about 10 Hz or less, all of our key platforms can deliver synchronized systems for this area.First, there are many strategies and technologies for synchronization, so it useful to categorize the technologies into two general classes – signal- and time-based. Signal-based synchronization is when you physically connect the clock or trigger lines between two devices. This approach offers the highest performance but you are limited by your signal wire lengths. Alternatively, there is what we call “time-based” approach which is a general approach of sharing a common time reference between devices, and then the devices synch their clocks/timing signals to this time reference. The sharing of the time reference be over a network (like NTP, or 1588) or through GPS. The accuracy of the time-based approaches very widely, but the advantage is the scale can be much larger.
  36. We support signal-based and GPS synchronization, as well as standard Network Timing Protocol (NTP) on both cRIO and PXI. Additionally, we do have 1588 capabilities for the PXI platform.Turning to how this is mapped into embedded monitoring applications, this graph summarizes at a high level our distributed synchronization capabilities. PXI provides the best of class, and arguably best of industry, with dedicated timing & synchronization modules, such as the new 668x. PXI’s performance becomes more apparent as the application signal bandwidths go out to 10kHz and higher. CompactRIO, whether using signal-based or GPS, delivers good synchronization capabilities, especially when we are looking at this medium bandwidth signals. The second line for CompactRIO reflects that the delta sigma modules for cRIO (9233/4/7/9) use a 12.8MHz oversample clock tha1 sample period (or 20usec). (Note: you could improve this with post processing – use a high precision time stamp and correct any drifts due to the oversample clock in post-processing)But the main point for cRIO is that for Structural Monitoring applications, which will be bandwidth limited to 10-100Hz or so, cRIO does deliver high precision synchronization, with fraction of a degree of phase mismatch. Note: cDAQ is not included on this graph, because it currently does not provide DISTRIBUTED synchronization. However, you can synchronize multiple cDAQ chassis (signal-based) for channel expansion, and it’s performance would be close to PXI.(you are able to synchronize oversample clocks on 923x modules with cDAQ).And finally, if it is a more static application, then basic network synchronization provided by NTP – on the order of 10ms over Ethernet – may be sufficient, and we have DZ materials on how to synchronize RT targets using NTP.Again, the goal of this graphic is to give you a rough approximation of our capabilities – based on conservative approximations and assumptions. Synchronization performance is highly dependent on many variables, and can usually be adjusted and tweaked, depending on the application requirements, to obtain improved performance. For example, we’ve delivered GPS-synched PXI systems with synchroniztion on the order of 25 ns (which would be above the gray line) using GPS . The goal of this graphic is to give you a rough approximation of our capabilities
  37. Here are more details on how to synchronize two cRIO chassis. For signal-based synchronization, one chassis generates a clock or trigger signal that for one or more other chassis. For longer distances, you should stay away from high frequency clocks and use a start trigger. You would use a high speed digital I/O module for the clock/trigger I/O. For structural monitoring, the GPS approach will typically be more useful because of the wider area. For GPS, we have a third-party GPS receiver module (S.E.A.) or you can always use an external receiver. Again you would use a high speed DIO module to connect to the pulse-per-second (PPS) signal from a GPS receiver. Alternatively, some GPS receivers output an IRIG-B signal that you could use and decode in the FPGA.In both cases, we use a 9401 or 9402 module to export in import the timing signal. The 9401 is our existing high speed TTL DIO module. The 9402 is a new module coming out soon that simplifies these setups a bit.
  38. The 9402 is a new high speed TTL module for C Series. Compared to the existing 9401 module, this module is faster, with lower propagation delay (decreases propagation delay from 100ns down to 20ns) and BNC connectors for easier connection of a timing signals. This module is close to finished, and should ship near the end of Q1, or perhaps early Q2. And it will be supported out of the gate on both CompactDAQ and CompactRIO.
  39. There are quite a few resources – white papers and sample code - on DevZone regarding system synchronization – for both PXI and CompactRIO. And we do plan to develop more material, reflecting the capabilties of the new PXI timing card as well as cRIO synchronization. And if you can’t find what you need here, please engage NIC. Again, synchronization is an extremely tricky feature to quantify and characterize. But on a case-by-base basis, we can bring in the engineers needed to assess whether a particular set of requirements are attainable or not.
