ML Approach to Centrifugal Pump Health Monitoring (Project Canary)

EF 2020-21 · 2021-02-15

Résumé
Develop a novel ML (machine learning) approach to help monitor and predict the performance of industrial centrifugal pumps. Pumped systems account for more than 20% of electrical energy consumption; and it is vital to understand its performance to optimize their connected industrial systems and reduce GHG emissions With our domain knowledge, we have identified a gap in large scale pipelines to monitor their centrifugal pumps and optimize their operations as equipment testing typically happens during initial factory acceptance and after equipment failure. Pump performance is not actively monitored during its life cycle, which over time, can lead to unnoticed degradation and unplanned outages.

Pumped systems account for more than 20% of electrical energy consumption; and it is vital to understand its performance to optimize their connected industrial systems and reduce GHG emissions With our domain knowledge, we have identified a gap in large scale pipelines to monitor their centrifugal pumps and optimize their operations as equipment testing typically happens during initial factory acceptance and after equipment failure.

Description (French)
Concevoir une nouvelle approche AM (apprentissage machine) pour aider à surveiller et à prévoir les performances des pompes centrifuges industrielles. Les systèmes pompés représentent plus de 20 % de la consommation d'énergie électrique; il est vital de comprendre leurs performances pour optimiser leurs systèmes industriels connectés et réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Avec notre connaissance du domaine, nous avons décelé une lacune dans les conduites à grande échelle pour surveiller leurs pompes centrifuges et optimiser leur fonctionnement, car les essais des équipements ont généralement lieu lors de la réception initiale en usine et après une défaillance de l'équipement. Les performances des pompes ne sont pas activement surveillées pendant leur cycle de vie, ce qui, avec le temps, peut entraîner une dégradation inaperçue et des arrêts imprévus.
