SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF SYSTEMS THAT EXHIBIT VARIABLE PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS AT DIFFERENT OPERATING CONDITIONS

摘要

A system and method for translating performance characteristics of a systemfromone system condition to another system condition includes sensing, at acurrent systemcondition, a first system performance parameter and a second systemperformanceparameter. The first and second system performance parameters correspond to ameasuredperformance characteristic value of the system. A first reference performancedatumassociated with the first and second system performance parameters at thecurrent systemcondition, and a second reference performance datum associated with the firstand secondsystem performance parameters at a selected reference system condition areboth retrievedfrom a memory. A difference between the first and second reference performancedata iscalculated to generate a translation value. The measured performancecharacteristic value ofthe system is then translated an amount equal to the data translation value,whereby acorrected performance characteristic value at the selected reference systemcondition isgenerated.
