The original plan was to build a 5 MW test cell and within five years about 10 MW.
Siemens was able to power the 10 MW motor with the
same variable frequency drive (VFD) as the 5 MW motor. Due to this the
university was able to move that goal up by about three years. With the
installation of an integrated solution, the motor and the drive are working
together not only with the current test cell but also with future test cells.
Due to the installation of integrated drive system the university gets off the external grid and put power back to the internal grid, so they can charge a lesser rate to their customers.The Siemens motors were selected for all of their major components.
„Siemens offered solutions that will be useful not only
today but also in the future. In addition, we benefit from working with the
Norwood, Ohio team by having a single point of contact if we ever have service
or technical questions.”
Mike Rulli, Facilities Engineer, Notre Dame Turbomachinery Laboratory
Single point of contact for the engineering and design of the motor side and the drive system
No vibrations in the speed range
Why Siemens?
Answering all the questions by the University of Notre Dame turbomachinery laboratory
Offering of beneficial solutions not only for now but also for the future
Single point of contact when having service questions and engineering questions
The University of Notre Dame is growing to wold-renowned research university and this laboratory is part of that mission to increase the impact on applied and fundamental research. Another part of this mission is to have a positive impact on the way of using energy.
