Flexible, Integrated Performance SolutionsThe FAMOS suite is a cost-effective solution and a wayto avoid the complication of third party add-ons. Atthe same time individual components can be installedseparately, with the option of adding other applicationsas your budget and needs dictate.Curtiss-Wright's FAMOS suite of products is built onmore than 30 years of power industry experience.Combining domain expertise with advanced technology,the suite is an integrated solution for analyzing andoptimizing plant performance, improving equipmentreliability and plant availability. It dependably monitorsand detects problems and accesses vast amounts ofplant data, anchoring a plant with operational excellence.By changing the way information is assimilated, and bypresenting it in a clear, visual manner, plant engineersand operators hold the key for avoiding performancemalfunctions, improving plant safety and leveraging othercondition monitoring investments.2. Critical Information AccessibilityFleet profitability and performance are enhanced throughunified applications that create more accessible andidentifiable information for driving business decisions.3. Robust Data Mining and ValidationAccess to accurate and reliable metrics increases youroverall plant efficiency and profitability.4. Quick Diagnosis and Corrective ActionEarly detection, analysis and correction of problems withpredictive pattern recognition and automated diagnosticrules that raise proactive alarms, while identifying thecause of problems and providing corrective actions.5. Proactive CommunicationsEngineers, operators and management receive the earlywarning and necessary information they need to identifyand respond to problems before degraded performanceor equipment failure occurs.PdPStressWave(Data Collection, Validation, Reporting, Archival)The link between plant efficiency and your carbon footprintFAMOS Helps Reduce a Plant’s Carbon FootprintIncreasing the efficiency of a power plant has a directimpact on lessening its CO2 emissions. No doubt, thereduction of CO2 and carbon footprint have becomepressing issues. Using FAMOS, plants have a solutionthat decreases fuel cost per KW while addressingenvironmental concerns.FAMOS Provides a Condition Monitoring EdgeFAMOS is the premier Performance Monitoring System(PMS) – delivering the calculated performance indicators aplant needs to drive efficient operation.Other systems designed to optimize plant efficiencyhave been shown to decrease user confidence due toinaccurate or faulty inputs of pressures, temperatures andflows measured at the plant.FAMOS ensures that the plant inputs feeding the PMSare accurate through its input validation module, whichcan include advanced pattern recognition expectedconditions. This assures that operators are confidentin making the required adjustments for optimizing plantperformance.FAMOS Guides Plant Operation With Consistent,Reliable Data InputsWhen a plant is operating at peak efficiency, guidedby advanced pattern recognition, data validation andaccurate performance indicators, the amount of fuelneeded to produce a KW is reduced – and so is thecarbon footprint. Payback is usually six to nine months.

Fleet Asset Management and Optimization SolutionsFAMOSFAMOS applications are connected at thesofware development levelThis ensures that beyond cost-effective applicationintegration, users have the assurance of data continuityand accuracy across the system.Rules EngineHow the FAMOS applications work togetherto provide a total solutionPEPSEStressWavePEPSE is the industry standard first principle, steadystate, energy balance application to analyze an entireplant or individual equipment components. Users canconduct “what if”studies to evaluatepotential efficiencyimprovementsand perform manyengineering analysesthat will detectabnormal operatingconditions and lowerplant operating costs.StressWave Energy analysis provides proactive “health”information on process equipment such that operatingconditions are not allowed to progress to prematuredegradation, damage and failure by focusing on theultimate root cause of all failures – friction and impacts.PEPSE is user-friendly with drop-and-drag icons formodeling, and easily understood visual data for drivingimproved performance.StressWave energy analysis can be thought of as anadvanced vibracoustic method for monitoring structuralenergy. It differs from traditional vibration-based methodsin that it does not require the external surfaces of thestructure to be shaking for data to be acquired. Rather,it filters out and ignores the relatively low and audiblefrequency shaking and “listens” for the much higherfrequency StressWave pulses inside the structure whichare generated by friction and impact events.R*TIME provides fast, reliable real-time data retrieval,processing, presentation, and reporting along with apowerful archival program. This nuclear and fossil powerindustry-proven system is scalable from a few tens ofchannels to tens of thousands of channels. Real-time andhistorical data are readily accessible through icon andpulldown menus. Interfaces to hundreds of industry protocols and hardware support simple and proven connectionsto virtually any system or software in the industry. Othereasy-to-use features include point-and-click to select datapoints, and simple poke points to view displays and trends.This powerful system software is complete withtools for creating color graphic displays with trends(time, x-y and bars), alarms, logs and message files.The Rules Engine can also facilitate knowledge captureregarding manpower shortages and the aging workforce.Curtiss-Wright's M&D Center’s services canimprove a plant’s performance and bottom linePMAXInstalled on more nuclear generating stations than allother performance systems combined, PMAX is bringingefficiency to over 300 fossil, nuclear, combined-cycle andsimple-cycle units throughout the world.PMAX is saving usersmillions of dollars inoperating and maintenance costs by armingoperators with the toolsthey need to reduceheat rate and find “lostmegawatts.” Theseefficiencies in turnimprove plant performance and reduce aplant’s carbon footprint.R*TIMEThe robust Rules Engine works across the FAMOS suite.It is fully integrated with all of the applications and willprovide automated and comprehensive evaluation of factors contributing to loss of efficiency and reliability at thecomponent, system, plant, and fleet levels. This diagnosticand decision support software enables better businessdecisions using the real time condition of the plant andfleet assets. The Rules Engine works by transformingthe domain expertise of subject matter experts into anactionable system of reasoning. Decision tree analysis ismerged with a library of diagnostic expertise – includingreal-time DCS data, manually collected diagnostics anddisparate business system information and FAMOS results– to provide a coherent assessment of component healthand system performance.PdPThis real-time, advanced pattern recognition monitoringapplication utilizes existing data signals available throughinstalled DCS systems, historians, and other monitoringsystems. The signals available from these systems feedthe PdP application in order to detect abnormal operatingconditions. PdP’s early identification of anomalies meanspotential catastrophic failures can be avoided by scheduling repairs and averting costly unplanned shutdowns.Curtiss-Wright's FAMOS products can directlyaddress fleet monitoring requirements. All FAMOSproducts can be easily deployed on a central serverfacilitating further improved data processing. Acentralized deployment approach can optimizeresource utilization while still enabling andempowering local maintenance and operatingpractices, leading to realization of a fleet-wide strategyaimed at improved performance and proactivecondition monitoring.Whether the FAMOS products are deployed at theutility, or a customer takes advantage of CurtissWright's remote monitoring services, applying acentralized approach to the applications’ usage canprovide additional value for return on investment inapplying these technologies.
