Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to performance testing of a gas turbine. In one embodiment, a gas turbine performance testing system can include a server, a transducer system, a signal converter, and an automated gas chromatograph. The transducer system acquires one or more functional parameters of the gas turbine and the signal converter converts the functional parameters acquired by the transducer system to gas turbine operational data. The automated gas chromatograph automatically analyzes a test sample of a natural gas that is used to operate the gas turbine. The gas turbine operational data generated by the signal converter and the analysis information obtained from the test sample are provided to the server for propagating via a communication network, to a client computer where the gas turbine operational data and the analysis information can be used to obtain a gas turbine performance test result.

Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating alarm processing and presentation of alarms for a power generation system are described. A template or graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying information associated with alarms may be generated for various types of alarms. Information associated with an alarm may be identified based on certain criteria and stored in a template associated with the alarm for presentation to a user. One or more status messages may be output to a display such a that a user or other person responsible for responding to an alarm may receive a current status associated with an alarm, including that an alarm has been processed and is ready to be acted upon. An alarm may be analyzed, categorized, and escalated based on historical information associated with the alarm, as well as determinations made by a user based on information stored in a template associated with alarm.

Abstract: A system for performance monitoring of power plants is provided. The system includes a plurality of power plants respectively owned and operated by a plurality of customers, a monitoring center, at least one of the customers and the monitoring center including a plurality of analytic algorithms configured to automate performance anomaly detection, alarming, analytics and prognosis and a secured network by which on-site monitoring (OSM) data generated at each of the plurality of the power plants is receivable by the monitoring center. The monitoring center is configured to analyze the OSM data along with site specific data for each respective power plant in accordance with the plurality of analytics algorithms to derive trends and to take action with respect to each respective power plant in accordance with changes and abnormalities indicated by the derived trends.
