DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF FAILURES OF POWER GENERATING EQUIPMENT DURING TRANSIENT CONDITIONS

摘要

Monitoring of transient operation of a turbine includes identifying a start condition and a stop condition for the transient operation and defining a path from the start condition to the stop condition wherein the path comprises a plurality of sequentially arranged sub-segments. Also, a respective value is obtained of each of a plurality of operating parameters for each respective sub-segment of the path and, then, for each of the respective sub-segments, a determination is made if the respective value of each of the plurality of operating parameters matches a respective predetermined allowable value for that particular operating parameter.
