Load-Sharing With Degradation Management in a Compressor Station

Management of compressor degradation is often considered from the perspective maintenance compressor, but most frameworks for operation compressors do not take into account. This paper proposes a method that takes account current level in order to manage further degradation. The algorithm can be used planning frameworks, particular if timings activities are fixed. extend lifetime by mitigating its degradation, or, conversely, intensify reach maximum time planned maintenance. performance has been demonstrated case study five compressors. A comparison with equal load approach shows new improves system managing selected Explicit management allows an extension before must performed. Conversely, ensuring desired attained pre-planned actions, it contributes increased efficacy actions. Note Practitioners —The presents framework load-sharing station subject main innovation use relationships between custom indicators results prove possible industrial setting adjusting each compressor. From practical perspective, more degraded follow less (called leaders). simplicity proposed enables intuitive choice leaders, stations than two Focused directly on sharing, also avoids lower control structures, such as speed or surge protection. and fact affects only loads make quickly implementable high operating station. limitation parameters adjusted manually ensure stay within their ranges. For instance, chosen way aims strike balance multiple next step would give demonstration high-fidelity simulator acts proxy real
