Patent number: 11650577Abstract: A plant operation data monitoring device comprises: an input section that receives operation data on a plant; and a calculator that includes databases storing the operation data received, and a computing section executing a program. The computing section stores the operation data received in a first database of the databases in time series. The computing section determines from peak values of the operation data stored whether gradients of the operation data are positive or negative, and then stores the gradients in a second database of the databases for positive gradients or in the second database of the databases for negative gradients in time series. The computing section determines threshold values for abnormality determination about the positive and negative gradients, divides the positive gradients and the negative gradients into normal values and abnormal values, and additionally stores the divided gradients in the second database for the positive or negative gradients.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Tamami Kurihara, Kengo Iwashige, Tadaaki Kakimoto, Tetsuji Morita
