Abstract

A method and a system for remotely predicting the reliability and the remaining time before failure for an AC motor system (110) are provided. The method and the system may remotely determine the reliability and a remaining time before failure with a statistical confidence utilizing an AC motor condition forecaster. The method and the system may include acquiring historical motor data, obtaining operational data (120), performing failure analysis, developing a causal network, and performing an integrated causal network and reliability analysis of the AC motor system. The method and system may provide at least one notification of an issue with the AC motor system (110) or at least one component of the AC motor system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the reliability of AC motor systems, and more particularly to a method and system for remotely determining the time remaining before a component of an AC motor system fails using a determined statistical confidence level. Background technique [0002] Some operators of AC motor systems employ some form of remote monitoring and diagnostics (RM&D) system or the like for use in determining system reliability. Currently known RM&D systems tend to focus on collection for development purposes. [0003] Acquisition of accurate information about the operating condition, status and performance of AC motor systems is often critical to maintaining the successful commercial operation of such systems, such as, but not limited to, those used in "critical" industrial manufacturing processes, power generation systems, etc. motor. Accordingly, considerable effort is often expended to develop and improve existing methods and systems fo...
