Benefits of technology
[0011] The module associated with the selected link may enable a quantitative amount of the wear of the component to be input and received on-line. The module associated with the selected link may enable a qualitative wear range characterizing the amount of the wear of the component to be input and received on-line. The module associated with the selected link may enable a component type to be input and received on-line and display a component fleet leader corresponding to the received component type using data stored in the database. The module associated with the selected link may enable the displayable content to depict, on-line, an example component having a standardized level of wear. The module associated with the selected link may enable a search criterion to be input and received on-line and retrieve data from the database based on the received search criterion. The wear of the component of the at least one turbine system may comprise the wear of a material in one of following turbine components: transition piece body assembly component, bull horn cover, side seal, AFT frame creep, combustion liner assembly component, flow sleeve, cross fire tube and fuel nozzle.
Problems solved by technology
These spreadsheets, however, lack the capability to provide centralized access to the collection of data.
Technicians who did not perform the wear measurements or wear category determinations would therefore not have prompt access to this and other inspection information.
Moreover, the spreadsheets do not prompt the field technicians to enter consistent inputs over numerous inspections.
There has thus been no formalized process for consistently capturing and effectively processing inspection information including wear related data made by field technicians.

Embodiment Construction
[0040]FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an exemplary internet-based computer system for processing field inspection information such as wear-related data (hereinafter wear data processing system) in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The computer system includes personal computers (PCs) 310a-310c interconnected via a wide area network (WAN) 312 such as the internet. PCs 310a-310c are operated by users such as turbine field technicians. PCs 310a-310c communicate on-line via WAN 312 with web server 316. In particular, on-line requests from PCs 310a-310c are routed through WAN 312 to web server 316. Alternatively, PCs 310a-310c may route a request through a local area network (LAN) rather than a WAN. A web server application is executed on computer 314. Computer 314 may be, for example, a main frame computer which executes many application programs including the web server application. The web server application executed by computer 314 may thus communicate wi...

A method comprises storing data relating to the wear of a component of at least one turbine system in a database of a system for processing wear related information, generating a displayable menu containing a plurality of user-selectable links respectively associated with software modules of the system, and receiving an on-line selection of one of the user-selectable links to enable the associated software module of the system to generate displayable content including information relating to the wear of the component of the turbine system. The selected module may enable a quantitative amount of the wear of the component or qualitative wear range characterizing the amount of the wear of the component to be input and received on-line. Alternatively, the selected module may enable a component type to be input and received on-line and display a component fleet leader.
Description
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to an on-line system and method for processing information relating to the wear of turbine components. More specifically, this invention relates to an on-line system and method of processing information relating to the wear of combustion system interface components of a turbine system. [0002] Turbine systems have been used to generate electricity for many years. As one example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,749,218 issued to Cromer et al. on May 12, 1998, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference, discloses a gas turbine system for generating electricity. This gas turbine system includes a combustion system having a wear reduction kit. The wear reduction kit improves the wear characteristics at interfaces of various combustion system components which are subjected to wear as a result of combustion noise induced vibrations. The wear reduction kit allows time intervals between consecutive combustion system inspections to be incr...
