This paper describes work currently underway to develop an on-line generator monitoring system using expert systems technology. This system will correlate generator diagnostic information from existing sensors to provide operations personnel with warning of developing generator problems and recommendations for corrective action. Developing the software presents many technical challenges associated with the requirement for a real-time expert system which can be readily customized and applied to generators of varying design, manufacture, and operating environments. A description of the software architecture currently being implemented to meet these requirements is given.
