DESCRIPTION:Current technological advances in condition monitoring are empl
 oying an increasing number of complex sensors and advanced monitors to dia
 gnose the operating status and condition of hydro generators and turbines.
  Advanced systems routinely employed may include bearing vibration\, air g
 ap\, shaft voltage\, and current monitoring\, partial discharge\, and flux
  monitoring. Proper interpretation of this often complex information can l
 ower operating and maintenance expenses\, in addition to reducing unschedu
 led outages and catastrophic failures. However\, the volume of available d
 ata from these monitors\, and the extensive interpretation necessary to ev
 aluate the complex waveforms and spectrums can overwhelm plant personnel a
 nd resources. Sophisticated software and algorithms are often necessary to
  correlate and interpret this data to establish the overall generator and 
 drive train condition. HydroX™ (for Hydro Expert) is a commercial knowle
 dge-based expert system program for on-line monitoring of hydro-generators
 . Working with the New York Power Authority\, the system was developed ove
 r five years by Iris Power and GE -Bently Nevada. After a further two year
 s of prototype evaluation at NYPA’s St. Lawrence Power Project on two 60
 MVA generators\, the validated system is now commercially available and wi
 ll be described.\n\nRoom: BA4287\, Bldg: Bahen Centre for Information Tech
