项目摘要

In the Oil and Mining fields, a shut down of one hour can cost the plant around $50,000 of revenue losses in**Alberta and Saskatchewan. This operation mishap is usually referred to as a failure in one of the switched mode**power supplies in the backbone of the automation system in any plant. An innovative engineering solution would**be to predict any failure before its occurrence, in a systematic way, is highly desired. This requires cooperation of**the power electronics researchers to integrate a future predictive maintenance capability on such power supplies.**This project will provide an opportunity to convert an idea from a prototype to a successful product in the market.**This product will allow end users to monitor the status and health of their switch mode power supplies. Currently,**there are few reliable solutions to prevent switch mode power supplies from blowing. The existing solutions lack**reliability, availability, and affordability.**Health monitoring is needed as power supplies in the industry are blown quite often. Emphatec would like to**collaborate with Dr. Youssef and his team to develop a novel solution based on a growing trend in the industry,**namely Ethernet for control automation technology (EtherCAT). This is to provide a high speed communication**circuit for the monitoring of switched mode power supplies, the first of its kind for the Oil and Mining industries.

在石油和采矿领域，阿尔伯塔省和萨斯喀彻温省的工厂关闭一小时可能会造成约 50,000 美元的收入损失。这种操作事故通常被称为任何工厂自动化系统主干中的开关模式**电源之一的故障。非常需要一种创新的工程解决方案，以系统的方式在任何故障发生之前对其进行预测。这需要**电力电子研究人员的合作，在此类电源上集成未来的预测性维护功能。**该项目将提供将想法从原型转化为市场上成功产品的机会。**该产品将允许最终用户监控其开关模式电源的状态和运行状况。目前，**很少有可靠的解决方案来防止开关电源烧断。现有的解决方案缺乏**可靠性、可用性和经济性。**由于行业中的电源经常烧断，因此需要进行健康监测。 Emphatec 希望**与 Youssef 博士及其团队合作，根据行业不断增长的趋势**即用于控制自动化技术的以太网 (EtherCAT) 开发一种新颖的解决方案。这是为了提供用于监控开关模式电源的高速通信**电路，这是石油和采矿行业的首个此类电路。
