2. General overview
   GenOSys is a flexible, high featured management tool for monitoring, tracking, alerting and providing key data on the performance of electrical systems. GenOSys is available for both new built generators and existing ones for retrofits purpose. It is available in three standard versions, with additional options depending on the customer’s needs.

3. GenOSys Pro
   It’s a flexible, fully customizable solution. The architecture is shown below and is recommended for high-power installations, particularly those over 3MW.

4.  GenOSys Lite
   It’s an easy-to-install, box-integrated solution. The architecture is shown below and is suitable for small and medium power installations. This solution interfaces with digital voltage regulators type D550 to collect electrical data.

5. GenOSys Core
   This version is suitable for installations already equipped with data collection devices. It allows to benefit from GenOSys functionalities while optimizing the hardware dedicated to data collection. The architecture is very simple, as shown below.

GenOSys contract The GenOSys contract includes :

• online monitoring of alternator health (thermal, vibrations and electrical data) using algorithms
• alerts via SMS and/or e-mail when algorithms detect deviations
• technical assistance from Leroy-Somer teams
• quarterly and yearly reports with recommendations for maintenance and optimization of the installation
• access to Genosys.net
• access to alternator data from the date of first commissioning

Thanks to this continuous monitoring, gradual and abnormal parameters deviation can be detected, and on-site interventions organized to correct faults and improve the lifetime of the generator.

The equipment
Several types of equipment are required to ensure GenOSys running smoothly.

1. Standard equipment
   It includes :

   • a box with connection terminals
   • a PLC for input/output cards
   • a gateway for communication and data transmission
   • electrical measuring equipment
   • temperature probes for bearings, stator windings, air and water
   • accelerometers and a vibration measurement unit for alternator bearings
   • Depending on requirements, the options hereafter are used to collect additional information to ensure better predictive maintenance of the machine.

2. Option: Humidity
   Measuring humidity helps preventing corrosion problems linked to the presence of moisture. The importance of this probe is to monitor the evolution of ambient humidity in the alternator and its i mpact.

3. Option: Partial discharge
   Partial discharge is a localized electrical discharge that can damage the insulation and lead to premature ageing of the alternator. This phenomenon occurs on Medium and High Voltage alternators. Installing this option enables to anticipate stator winding contamination, detect insulation degradation and detect cracks (varnish, insulation, etc.).
   This option requires the installation of 3 capacitive couplers and a partial discharge monitor. Thanks to GenOSys, continuous monitoring is possible to prevent premature failure of the stator insulation wall.

4. Option: Rotor insulation
   This option makes it possible to monitor any degradation of rotor insulation due to ageing or specific site conditions (pollution, high ambient humidity, heavy network load). This equipment makes it possible to monitor the rotor’s state of health in order to anticipate and limit damage as far as possible.
   This option requires:

   • wireless transmitter and receiver equipment
   • mechanical holder for transmitter/receiver equipment
   • modification of the diode bridge cover

5. Option: Poles slip/internal angle measurement
   This option is important in the event of an unstable electrical network and voltage micro-interruptions, in order to monitor the alternator’s internal angle and detect pole slip, which can significantly affect the alternator’s lifetime. This option uses a shaft-mounted incremental encoder and requires modification of the diode bridge cover.
   Note: This option is only available if the alternator is equipped with a Leroy-Somer digital AVR type D550, D510C or D700.

 Instructions for using the web portal

The data collected and processed by GenOSys can be accessed via the following web portal:
Genosys.net

1. Overview of the web portal
   Access rights are nominative and security rules have been implemented to properly manage the information flows. The home page is shown below:
   Click on the button “LOG IN” and then enter the connection details. Once the connection has been established, the user accesses authorized areas.
   The user can then read and download the available reports, go through and possibly acknowledge some events and alarms, or view data in graph mode.

2. Zones
   For each organization or customer, this menu contains all the machines under GenOSys supervision.
   The menu “Zones” provides an overview of the connectivity status of the machines fleet. Three states are available:

   • “Connected”
   • “Partially connected”, when the gateway is unable to collect data from one of the available equipment, or when the internet connectivity is weak.
   • “Not reporting” when the gateway is unable to connect to the Internet.
   • In the example above, all the gateways communicate perfectly with the equipment and the Internet network is well established.
   • In each zone, data can be viewed in table or graphical mode.
   • “View in graph mode”
     On each graph, a button allows to download data in CSV format. Curves can be displayed by day, week or month, using the selector below.

Events
All events and alarms can be viewed in this menu. The user can display them according to criticality, date of occurrence and zones concerned.

Authorized users can acknowledge some of available alarms.
Reports
Technical reports are generated for customers on a regular basis. These reports are available in the “Reports” tab.

Users can sort the available reports by date and zone for instance. Reports can be displayed and downloaded in two formats:

• HTML
• JSON

User profile
All users can modify their personal data. This can be done through the “My Account” menu.

Then the details can be filled as needed.

Users can configure their space to receive alerts by SMS or e-mail. To do so, they must select the following options:

• E-mail Notification
• Text Notification
