Abstract
An approach for detecting rotor anomalies is disclosed. An on-site monitoring unit monitors vibration measurements obtained from a rotor during a transient speed operation. In one aspect, the on-site monitoring unit classifies the vibration measurements into predetermined ranges of rotor speed during the transient speed operation, determines maximum vibration data for each of the predetermined ranges of rotor speed during the transient speed operation and compiles the maximum vibration data into a snapshot of the vibration measurements obtained during the transient speed operation. A remote monitoring unit detects a rotor anomaly from the snapshot of vibration measurements generated by the on-site monitoring unit.
