SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTEGRATED CONDITION MONITORING FOR POWER SYSTEM ASSET HEALTH SCORING
Systems and methods are disclosed for asset health assessment and fleet management. An example method may include classifying a first power system asset into a first sub-system and a second sub-system. The example method may also include measuring, by a processor of a protection relay and from a first power system asset, electrical, thermal, and/or mechanical data associated with the first power system asset. The example method may also include identifying a first fault feature for the first sub-system, wherein the first fault feature is influenced by load oscillations in the first power system asset. The example method may also include comparing the first fault feature to a second fault feature of a third sub-system in a second power system asset, wherein the second fault feature is the same as the first fault feature, and wherein the second fault feature is not associated with load oscillations. The example method may also include adjusting a threshold value based on the comparison of the first fault feature to the second fault feature of the third sub-system. The example method may also include calculating, by the processor and for a first sub-system of the first power system asset, a first value based on the electrical, thermal, and/or mechanical data. The example method may also include calculating, by the processor, based on the first value, and using recent measurement data, a second value associated with the first sub-system. The example method may also include calculating, by the processor and using historical average data, a third value associated with the first sub-system. The example method may also include determining, by the processor and based on the second value and the third value, a fourth value associated with the first power system asset. The example method may also include determining, by the processor, that the fourth value is greater than a threshold value. The example method may also include generating, by the processor, a warning based on the determination that the fourth value is greater than the threshold value.
