Method and system for operating a generator using a dynamic capability curve
First Claim
1. A method for operating a generator using a dynamic capability curve, the method comprising:
- providing a family of static capability curves corresponding to nominal reference levels of pressure of a fluid for cooling the generator;
acquiring data indicative of the actual pressure of the cooling fluid;
generating a dynamic capability curve responsive to the actual pressure of the cooling fluid; and
displaying the family of static capability curves relative to the dynamic capability curve, thereby allowing the operator to monitor and control the operation of the generator based on the actual pressure of the cooling fluid and further in view of at least one of the nominal reference levels of pressure for the cooling fluid.

Abstract
Method and system are provided for operating a generator using a dynamic capability curve. In one embodiment, the method allows providing a family of static capability curves corresponding to nominal reference levels of pressure of a fluid for cooling the generator. The method further allows acquiring data indicative of the actual pressure of the cooling fluid. A dynamic capability curve is generated to be responsive to the actual pressure of the cooling fluid. The family of static capability curves may be displayed relative to the dynamic capability curve, thereby allowing the operator to monitor and control the operation of the generator based on the actual pressure of the cooling fluid and further in view of at least one of the nominal reference levels of pressure for the cooling fluid.
