Dynamic assessment system for high-voltage electrical components

A dynamic assessment system for monitoring high-voltage electrical components comprising:

• at least one on-line sensor that is coupled to one or more on-line electrical components operating with a load, said on-line sensors configured to monitor and collect on-line operating parameter data associated with the operation of the one or more on-line electrical components;
• at least one off-line database adapted to store off-line operating parameter data associated with the operation of the one or more on-line electrical components that is taken off-line, wherein said off-line operating parameter data represents off-line testing of said one or more on-line electrical components that is taken off-line and wherein said off-line operating parameter data, is acquired when said one or more on-line electrical components are de-energized for off-line testing;
• at least one off-line data storage system adapted to store historical off-line operating parameter data associated with the maintenance, testing, and operating performance of the one or more on-line electrical components;
• a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) network to receive SCADA data associated with the one or more electrical components associated with said SCADA network;
• and
• a computer system coupled to the one or more on-line electrical components and to the one or more on-line electrical components taken off-line, the computer system in operative communication with said at least one on-line sensor, said at least one off-line database, said at least one off-line data storage system, and said SCADA network with respective data communication interfaces, wherein said on-line operating parameter data from said at least one on-line sensor and said off-line operating parameter data from said at least one off-line database are each received at said computer system through different interface models associated with respective ones of the on-line and off-line electrical components, said computer system configured to automatically and continuously correlate output from said interface models with said historical off-line operating parameter data and said SCADA data,
• wherein said computer system generates a course of action that is associated with each of the one or more online electrical components, and said course of action includes reducing the load of the one or more on-line electrical components based on said correlated output from said interface models, said historical off-line operating parameter data, and said SCADA data,
• wherein the one or more on-line electrical components operate at the reduced load in response to the course of action.
