Method and system for establishing operational stability prior to determining temperature correction factors for a generator
View Patent ↗Computer-based method and system are provided for establishing operational stability prior to determining temperature correction factors for a generator. The method allows providing (e.g., 102 ) a data file including data indicative of prescribed stability criteria for the generator. The method further allows monitoring (e.g., 104 ) respective operational parameters indicative of actual operational stability of the generator. The respective operational parameters indicative of the actual operational stability of the generator are related (e.g., 106 ) to the prescribed stability criteria in the data file. In response to the relating action, a graphical display (e.g., 82 ) is generated (e.g., 108 ) and the graphical display is indicative of whether or not the actual operational stability of the generator complies with the prescribed stability criteria.
1. A computerized system for guiding an operator to establish operational stability prior to determining temperature correction factors for a generator, the system comprising:
a data file comprising data indicative of prescribed stability criteria for the generator;
a guiding wizard for eliciting information regarding a respective generator load level for establishing the operational stability and for providing guidance to determine compliance with the prescribed stability criteria prior to determining the temperature correction factors;
an input/output device for interfacing with the guiding wizard and selecting the generator load level; and
a processor configured to monitor respective operational parameters indicative of actual operational stability of the generator, the processor further configured to access the data file for relating the respective operational parameters indicative of the actual operational stability of the generator to the prescribed stability criteria in the data file and to generate a graphical display indicative of whether or not the actual operational stability of the generator complies with the prescribed stability criteria.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the input/output device is configured to communicate with the processor to show the graphical display.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the graphical display is configured to provide an indication of compliance or lack thereof relative to the prescribed stability criteria.
4. The system of claim 3 wherein the graphical display is configured to identify a cause for lack of compliance relative to the prescribed stability criteria.
5. The system of claim 3 wherein the guiding wizard is configured, upon determination of the temperature correction factors at the selected generator load level, to elicit information for selecting at least another generator load level for establishing operational stability and determining temperature correction factors at said another load level.
