Development of Remote Diagnostic Monitoring System for Motor-Operated Valves

모터구동밸브의 원격 진단 시스템 개발에 대한 연구

A diagnostic methodology, which utilizes only the remotely-measurable signals, has been requested to be developed in order to evaluate and monitor conditions of MOVs. It is proven that the stem thrust are the most important variables which provide the operability of MOVs. Therefore the stem thrust estimator was developed and validated, which estimates stem thrust by use of the motor torque. The motor torque is calculated using electrical signals which can be measured in Motor Control Center(MCC). The procedures to evaluate the accuracy of the diagnostic variables were set up and the accuracy of each variable was obtained through the experiments under various conditions. In addition, the applicability of the stem thrust estimator was tested in the plants.
