T01: Instrumentation & Control Machinery Robustness Improvements against Spurious Trips
Abstract
Experiencing a spurious trip of a turbomachinery train due to an unreliable or faulty instrument or control system can be a very costlyand frustrating experience Nevertheless, a commonly overlooked area within turbomachinery packages is the robustness of theinstrumentation and controls design against spurious trips End-users generally have minimal inputs to the OEMs ‘standard’ alarm andtrip functions when procuring a turbomachinery packaged equipmentCollaboration between OEM and end-users with regards to instrumentation and control design can lead to the engineering and deliveryof fit-for-purpose turbomachinery packages that maintains reliability (safety) and increases availability (operational) This tutorialexplores the possibilities and mechanisms to rationalize the trip functions and improve the instrument and controls design robustnessagainst spurious trips for any given turbomachinery package in a collaborative environment
