Abstract:
In one example embodiment, a fluid induced instability detection system is provided that monitors various vibration characteristics of a turbomachine, collects vibration data in real-time, and uses the vibration data to detect and analyze changes in various operating parameters such as vibration, speed, and loading conditions, and to provide an indication of a vibration anomaly and/or potential operational risk in one or more components of the turbomachine. The vibration data can be particularly associated with certain components that are directly or indirectly impacted by a modification in process fluid flow characteristics or lubrication oil flow characteristics in the turbomachine due to various reasons such as process fluid flow disturbances, lubricating oil flow disturbances, and/or a change in turbomachine operational parameters. The fluid induced instability detection system detects abnormalities in the vibration data and provides an indication of one or more potential faults in the turbomachine.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for integrating alarm processing and presentation of alarms for a power generation system are described. A template or graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying information associated with alarms may be generated for various types of alarms. Information associated with an alarm may be identified based on certain criteria and stored in a template associated with the alarm for presentation to a user. One or more status messages may be output to a display such a that a user or other person responsible for responding to an alarm may receive a current status associated with an alarm, including that an alarm has been processed and is ready to be acted upon. An alarm may be analyzed, categorized, and escalated based on historical information associated with the alarm, as well as determinations made by a user based on information stored in a template associated with alarm.
