Overview of turbogenerator monitoring and diagnostic systems

Abstract

Abstract The article considers general approaches and modern monitoring systems for rotary machines of electric generating equipment. The main characteristics of monitoring and diagnostics systems of Russian and foreign manufacturers are presented. Modern trends in the construction of intelligent systems for analyzing the performance of turbo generators and predicting possible failures in order to minimize the cost of repairs and forced shutdown of equipment are outlined. The concept of adaptive-predictive use of rotary machines, the difference from existing systems is the presence of adaptive module that allows to react to unwanted changes in real time and increase the predicted residual resource or eliminate the predicted probability of initially refusal.
