Technical and methodological recommendations for turbogenerators diagnostics

The paper presents the elements of the principles of diagnosing the technical condition of turbogenerators. The problem was examined in terms of methodology based on the types of sensors and their distribution structure and principles of analysis of symptoms of the technical condition of machines. We postulate to increase the diagnostic instrumentation of the turbogenerator and to determine the basic characteristics and measurement of diagnostic signals. The work also discusses the basic patterns of diagnostic signals and proposes general dependencies of transformation and evaluation of these signals. The aim of this approach is to increase the unambiguity, sensitivity, informativity and multidimensionality of the condition symptoms.[b]Keywords[/b]: diagnostic, turbogenerator, monitoring, symptoms, sensor
