  • Publication number: 20150081229
    Abstract: A system including: at least one computing device configured to monitor a compressor blade in a turbomachine by: extracting time of arrival (TOA) data about the compressor blade at a defined interval; correlating turbomachine operating conditions with the TOA data; extracting resonance data about the compressor blade during startup or shutdown of the turbomachine, and extracting static deflection and tip clearance data about the compressor blade during steady state operation of the turbomachine; creating a baseline compressor blade comparison level based upon the extracted resonance data, extracted static deflection and tip clearance data, and correlation between the turbomachine operating conditions and the TOA data; and iteratively extracting updated TOA data and performing the correlating, the extracting of the resonance data, static deflection and tip clearance data using the updated TOA data at the defined interval to create an updated baseline compressor blade comparison level.
