  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. Nidec-GenOSys-Online-Conditions-Monitoring- \(5\)

  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.Nidec-GenOSys-Online-Conditions-Monitoring- \(6\)

  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.Nidec-GenOSys-Online-Conditions-Monitoring-

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.
