Data-centric monitoring method
First Claim
Patent Images
1. ) A data-centric monitoring method for detecting, isolating, and predicting abnormal conditions in a system comprising the steps of:
- a) acquiring measured data relating to at least one part or piece of the system;
b) filtering bad or corrupt data;
c) deriving a baseline for each monitored variable;
d) calculating a residual from the baseline for each data point;
e) calculating a trend line based on the residuals of each monitored variable;
f) detecting data points whose residuals fall outside a normal operating limit for each monitored variable;
g) detecting data points whose residuals violate one or several rules for abnormal conditions for each monitored variable;
h) detecting any rapidly changing trend line slope or shape;
i) issuing one or multiple alerts or warnings for any violations of the above; and
j) consolidating multiple alerts or warning that correspond to the same cause into a single alert or warning of fault or faults;
k) estimating the severity of each fault;
l) estimating the effect of each fault on each system capability;
m) analyzing each system capability variation of trend;
n) extrapolating data along the trend line;
o) detecting when data points will be outside operating limits;
p) detecting when data points will violate abnormal condition rules;
q) issuing one or multiple alerts or warnings for any detected violations of steps “
o” and
“
p”
; and
r) consolidating multiple alerts or warning that correspond to the same cause into a single alert or warning;
s) estimating fault severity and system capability over a future time window of interest.
