Automated prognostics systems and methods
First Claim
1. A method to assess one or more movable components of a turbine, the method comprising:
- subjecting the turbine to a first mode of operation;
using a sensor system to obtain measurement data by monitoring one or more parameters at a plurality of locations on each of the one or more movable components when the turbine is subjected to the first mode of operation;
providing to a computing device, input information comprising spatial coordinates information associated with the plurality of locations, the measurement data obtained by the sensor system, operational data associated with the first mode of operation, and structural data associated with the turbine; and
combining the measurement data and the spatial coordinates information to generate a synthesized representation of at least a first component in the one or more movable components, the synthesized representation of the at least a first component providing a visual indication of one of a failure or a likelihood-of-failure in at least one area when the failure or the likelihood-of-failure is present in the at least one area.

Abstract
An automated prognostics system includes a sensor system configured to obtain measurement data by monitoring one or more parameters at one or more locations on each of one or more movable components of an object when the object is subjected to a first mode of operation. The system also includes a computing device having an input interface and a processor. The input interface receives input information such as spatial coordinates information associated with the one or more locations, the measurement data obtained by the sensor system, operational data associated with the first mode of operation, and structural data associated with the object. The processor processes the input information and generates a prognostics report on at least a first component of the one or more movable components, the prognostics report including at least one of a failure prognostic or a likelihood-of-failure prognostic of the first component.
