Abstract
A unified data acquisition system (UDAS) includes a portable computer configured to monitor data from a system installation. The system installation may be a gas turbine, steam turbine, combined cycle, or power generation system installation. The UDAS is also configured to log both raw and processed data from a plurality of data sources at the system installation, and to permit relocation and reconfiguration of the UDAS at a different system installation for monitoring and logging of data at the different system installation.
Claims28
A unified data acquisition system (UDAS) comprising a portable computer configured to:
