Distinguished speakers for seminar at NPower

"Condition Monitoring and Safety Systems for Power and Process Plant" is the next seminar meeting to be organised by the ACTC Energy, Oil and Gas SIG, at the RWE NPower Ferrybridge Training Centre

"Condition Monitoring and Safety Systems for Power and Process Plant" is the next meeting organised by the ACTC Energy, Oil and Gas SIG.

It will take place at the RWE NPower Ferrybridge Workshop and Training Centre, Knottingley on the 19th May 2005.

This meeting is being hosted by RWE npower and will cover new condition monitoring technologies for the power generation and process industries.

This will span novel algorithms and new tools for assessing the performance of controllers, machinery, and plant component.

A vital part of effective condition monitoring is taking corrective action, and so the meeting will include systems at the individual element level and the wider system level including plant safety systems as well.

You can see abstracts of the planned presentations (where available), on line on the website.

The outline agenda will is scheduled as follows.
