  • Method and system for real-time performance degradation advisory for centrifugal compressors
    Patent number: 10088839
    Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for generating real-time performance advisories for a centrifugal compressor of a fleet of centrifugal compressors are provided. The method includes receiving an actual thermodynamic signature of the compressor, that is unique to the compressor, receiving compressor process parameter values during operation of the compressor, determining, in real-time, an actual performance of the compressor using the compressor process parameter values, determining, in real-time, a predicted performance of the compressor using the received actual thermodynamic signature of the compressor, determining a performance deviation of the compressor using the actual performance and the predicted performance, comparing the performance deviation to a predetermined dynamic threshold range of performance deviation specific to operating speed, and generating a notification to a user using the comparison.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REALTIME PERFORMANCE RECOVERY ADVISORY FOR CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS
    Publication number: 20150025689
    Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for generating real-time performance recovery advisories for a centrifugal compressor of a fleet of centrifugal compressors are provided. The method is implemented using a computer device coupled to a user interface and a memory device and the method includes determining a performance deviation of the compressor using a determined actual performance of the compressor and a predicted performance of the compressor, comparing the performance deviation to a predetermined threshold range of performance deviation, and recommending to a user at least one source for the performance deviation, the recommendation including a value of the performance recovery available for each source.
