Vibration Monitoring and Fault Diagnosis System of Turbine-Generator

It is very important to monitor vibration and diagnose fault for the operating safety of turbine-generator. The remote monitor and diagnosis via the cyber-based technology is a necessity. The difference between browser/server mode and client/server mode is discussed. There are many advantages of applying Java technology. Using Java, a vibration monitoring and fault diagnosis system of turbine-generator based on browser/server mode is developed. The functions as well as the structure of the whole system are analyzed. Online transmission of batch data via Internet is presented, especially for different program languages. Java Applet technology is used to develop client program. With double-buffer method, a lot of graphic interfaces of dynamic making online are presented, which are not blinking. It is proved that the system is already adopted and functions well in several power plants.Copyright © 2007 by ASME
