Abstract
Provided is an electric machine health monitoring system that includes an electric machine, a data acquisition component, a local transmitter, a communications network, and a remote diagnostic unit that is configured to receive the time sequenced operational information, asset performance, and health status indicators from a local transmitter. The remote computational unit comprises software that is configured to perform diagnostic analysis of time sequenced operational information to determine the asset performance and health status of the electric machines.
Claims20
A health monitoring system for an electric machine, comprising:
- a first electric machine;
- a first local diagnostic unit, wherein the first local diagnostic unit includes a local computational unit which is configured to receive a first set of operational data from the first electric machine and perform a first local diagnostic test on the first set of operational data;
- and
- a remote diagnostic unit, wherein the remote diagnostic unit includes a remote computational unit which is configured to receive the operational data and the first local computational unit diagnostic test result from the first local diagnostic unit, wherein the remote computational unit is further configured to perform a remote diagnostic test using the first set of operational data and the first local diagnostic test result to obtain an electric machine health status indicator.
A method for determining performance and health status of an electric machine, comprising:
- acquiring a first operational data set from a first electric machine using a first local diagnostic unit;
- performing a first local diagnostic test on the first operational data set using the first local diagnostic unit;
- transferring the first operational data set and the first local diagnostic tests results performed by the first local diagnostic unit from the first local diagnostic unit to a remote diagnostic unit;
- and
- performing a remote diagnostic test on at least one of the first operational data set and the first local diagnostic test results using the remote diagnostic unit.
