Patent Images
1. A system for monitoring a plurality of turbines, comprising:
- at least one turbine;
at least one combustion dynamics monitoring device, in communication with the at least one turbine, wherein the at least one combustion dynamics monitoring device is operable to measure the pressure within at least one combustion chamber of the at least one turbine; and
at least one fleet server, wherein the at least one fleet server is in remote communication with the at least one combustion dynamics monitoring device, and wherein the at least one fleet server is operable to generate a graphical display illustrating the operational status of the at least one turbine.

Abstract
Systems, methods and computer program products enable the remote monitoring of the combustion dynamics of turbines. Remote monitoring permits a single user to continuously monitor the operating health of a fleet of turbines simultaneously from a single location. The user is presented with one or more graphical user interfaces that graphically display combustion dynamics data to enable the user to visually and quickly determine whether the turbine is operating within prescribed limits. The system permits the user to determine whether each turbine is operating to its maximum efficiency.
