Systems and methods for bearing health monitoring in power plants

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory comprising computer-executable instructions operable to:
• receive, via the processor, operational data associated with a power plant component;
• receive, via the processor, training data from one or more power plants;
• based at least in part on the operational data and the training data, determine, via the processor, a signature associated with an anomaly event of the power plant component, wherein the anomaly event comprises:
• a wiping of a bearing a scoring of a bearing;
• based at least in part on a comparison of the signature with a threshold signature, generate (1) an alert indicative of the anomaly event or (2) an alert to modify an inspection interval for the power plant component;
• and
• based at least in part on the comparison, generate a repair or inspection recommendation for the power plant component.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored instructions executable by a computer for performing operations comprising:

• receiving operational data associated with a power plant component;
• receiving training data from one or more power plants;
• based at least in part on the operational data and the training data, determining a signature associated with an anomaly event of the power plant component, wherein the anomaly event comprises:
• a wiping of a bearing or a scoring of the bearing;
• based at least in part on a comparison of the signature with a threshold signature, generating (1) an alert indicative of the anomaly event or (2) an alert to modify an inspection interval for the power plant component;
• and
• identifying a repair or inspection recommendation for the power plant component.
