Landsvirkjun and Voith launch joint pilot project in Iceland
Landsvirkjun, the National Power Company of Iceland, and Voith have launched a joint pilot project on intelligent noise analysis in hydropower plants. Voith is installing the OnCare.Acoustic monitoring system in the Budarhals hydropower plant in Iceland that detects sound anomalies which deviate from normal conditions to prevent potential shutdowns. In addition, the continuous analysis of machine data is designed to facilitate an optimised mode of operation and the intelligent scheduling of maintenance work.
OnCare.Acoustic (formerly known as HyGuard), Voith supports hydropower plant operators in discovering potentially dangerous incidents by detecting sound anomalies, classifying them into warnings and alarms as well as allocating them to specific equipment, which enables the derivation of information for smarter recommendations and decisions with regard to maintenance and operations.
OnCare.Acoustic is based on Voith’s Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform OnCumulus and can be extended with more functionality by adding OnCumulus.Suite to the package.Hydropower plants today are already highly automated. As hydropower plants are often located in remote areas, problems might remain undetected and can cause severe damage to equipment. Many hydropower plants are unmanned, relying on regular service cycles and monitoring systems to discover any occurring anomalies that could lead to dangerous incidents.
Without monitoring systems and advanced analytics, hydropower plant operators risk possibly dangerous conditions, especially with equipment that has no condition monitoring or is not continuously surveilled.
