Intelligent bearing technology for large machine applications
SIMOTICS Active Magnetic Bearing-Technology
Intelligent bearing technology for large machine applications
Oil & Gas
Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM)
Compensate the declining pressure in the gas field
Ecologically sensitive zone, partially in a water protection area
Production rate must be precisely adapted to the fluctuating demand
Tight project execution time frame
Harmonized and coordinated system solution based on SIMOTICS HV high-speed synchronous motors and SINAMICS medium voltage converters
Implementation of a double-end drive motor – allowing a second compressor to be coupled to increase the overall compression power as suction pressure decreases
Use of SIMOTICS AMB-Technology – active magnetic bearings based on well-proven standard industrial electronic components
Continuous speed control range – from standstill up to the maximum speed of 6300 rpm at 23 MW
Extremely high system availability exceeding 99%
Oil-free drive train complies with all of the environmental regulations
Very short project execution time – the project was completed 10 days earlier than originally planned
Simplified operation and service as a result of the standard SINAMICS hardware platform for converter & magnetic bearings
System status data is automatically made available for process monitoring
Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM), joint venture between Shell and Exxon Mobile: Integration of compressor drive trains with active magnetic bearings for Europe's largest gas field with 20 remotely controlled stations. Secure remote access and remote maintenance from a central control room using condition monitoring.
