Online Vibration Monitoring Solution for Eggborough Power Station

Beran Instruments has been awarded a contract to supply a Turbine Generator Online Vibration Monitoring Solution consisting of four PlantProtech 766 Analysers and four PlantProtech 768 Analysers to Eggborough Power Station in East Yorkshire.

Beran Instruments has been awarded a contract by Eggborough Power Limited to supply a Turbine Generator Online Vibration Monitoring System for Eggborough Power Station. Located in East Yorkshire, UK, Eggborough is a coal-fired power station, generating 2000MW of power, capable of supplying over 2 million homes.

The requirement

Eggborough Power Limited selected Beran Instruments via a competitive tender process to supply and commission a cost-effective Turbine Generator Online Vibration Monitoring System to monitor four turbine generators and main boiler feed pumps.

The solution

The Beran PlantProtech Vibration Monitoring Systems installed at Eggborough Power Station, consist of eight PlantProtech 766 Analysers and four PlantProtech 768 Analysers. They monitor over 60 vibration channels for each of the four turbine generator units, and 12 vibration channels on each of the four main boiler feed pumps.

In addition, process data is provided by the Station Distributed Control System (DCS) using the OPC Interface, thus, the Beran PlantProtech Vibration Monitoring Systems could collectively monitor over 1200 vibration channels related to the turbine generation units alone.
