Automated prognostics systems and methods

A system for assessing one or more movable components of a turbine, the system comprising:

• a sensor system configured to obtain measurement data by monitoring one or more parameters at a plurality of locations on each of one or more movable components of the turbine when the turbine is subjected to a first mode of operation;
• a computing device comprising:
• an input interface configured to:
• receive input information comprising spatial coordinates information associated with the plurality of locations, the measurement data obtained by the sensor system, operational data associated with the first mode of operation, and structural data associated with the turbine;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• combine the measurement data and the spatial coordinates information to generate a synthesized representation of at least a first component in the one or more movable components, the synthesized representation of the at least a first component providing a visual indication of one of a failure or a likelihood-of-failure in at least one area when the failure or the likelihood-of-failure is present in the at least one area.

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

• receiving measurement data obtained by monitoring one or more parameters at a plurality of locations on at least a first component of one or more movable components of a turbine, when the turbine is subjected to a first mode of operation;
• receiving spatial coordinates information associated with the plurality of locations;
• and
• combining the measurement data and the spatial coordinates information to generate a synthesized representation of the first component, the synthesized representation of the first component providing a visual indication of one of a failure or a likelihood-of-failure in at least one area when the failure or the likelihood-of-failure is present in the at least one area.
