Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to detachable lora equipped triple axis vibration monitoring solution of gas turbine in power plants with critical alert.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This innovative solution serves as an essential tool in power plants, particularly for gas turbines, providing a comprehensive and instantaneous monitoring system. The early detection of potential issues in turbine performance is ensured by its regular monitoring of temperature changes and triple-axis vibrations. Smooth data transfer to a dedicated cloud server, where sophisticated machine learning algorithms analyze the data, is made possible by the integration of communication modules. The resulting information is then presented to operators via an intuitive online dashboard and an on-site display, giving them timely insights into the turbine's state.
The demand for a sophisticated and effective gas turbine monitoring system in power plants is met by this creative approach. Conventional monitoring techniques frequently don't have real-time capabilities and might not be able to sufficiently record crucial parameters, including triple-axis vibrations, which causes possible problems to go unnoticed for longer. The lack of a comprehensive solution increases the chances of unanticipated failures, prolonged downtime, and subpar operating efficiency, making it difficult for operators to proactively manage turbine performance.
US9297311B2: A method is disclosed for operating a gas turbine power plant having a gas turbine, a heat recovery steam generator and an flue gas splitter which splits flue gases into a first flue gas flow for recirculation into an inlet flow of the gas turbine and into a second flue gas flow for discharge to an environment. An oxygen-depleted gas can be used in an open cooling system for cooling hot gas parts of the gas turbine. A split compressor intake can be provided for separate feed of recirculated flue gas and fresh air into a compressor intake. Compressor blades can include a separating band which blocks intermixing of recirculated flue gas and fresh air during compression.
RESEARCH GAP: A Wireless solution with Lora RF and cloud integration of the triple axis vibration for Gas Turbine in Power Plants is the novelty of the system.
US8495858B2: A method of operating a gas turbine power plant including an auxiliary power output for reducing power plant emissions. A heat recovery steam generator receives an expanded working medium from a gas turbine and removes heat from the expanded working medium to form a reduced temperature exhaust gas and to generate steam from the heat removed from the expanded working medium. A steam turbine and generator assembly operates on the steam to produce an auxiliary plant output. A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system is provided for receiving the reduced temperature exhaust gas; and an auxiliary fan is powered by the auxiliary plant output to supply dilution air for further reducing the temperature of the exhaust gas to prior to passing the exhaust gas through the SCR system.
RESEARCH GAP: A Wireless solution with Lora RF and cloud integration of the triple axis vibration for Gas Turbine in Power Plants is the novelty of the system.

With a focus on triple-axis vibration and critical alerting, this innovation combines cutting-edge hardware, cloud computing, wireless communication technologies, and machine learning to create a reliable and intelligent system for real-time monitoring and analysis of gas turbines in power plants. The two key devices that are used to initiate the invention are DLTAVT_GTBMote and DLTAVR_GTBMote. The ATmega128 Board, Lora RF Module, MEMS Vibration Sensor, Temperature Sensor, and Power Supply are all included with the DLTAVT_GTBMote. This device is mounted atop the gas turbine and functions as the main point of data collecting, tracking the turbine's temperature and triple-axis vibration continually. MEMS sensors are used to record accurate temperature changes and motion data.

The Lora RF Module makes it easier to communicate with DLTAVT_GTBMote so that gathered data may be transferred.
The GSM Modem makes sure that important alarms can be transmitted to the right people, which improves the monitoring system's responsiveness, and the HMI Display shows the turbine's status in real time. The data acquired by both devices is transmitted to a dedicated cloud server created especially for this innovation, which is engineered to efficiently manage and process the incoming data. Machine learning techniques designed especially for examining vibration data from gas turbines are integrated into the server. These algorithms help to produce significant insights on the turbine's performance in addition to spotting trends and abnormalities. Several forms are used to convey the machine learning analysis's findings. Operators on-site may quickly ascertain the state of the turbine thanks to the DLTAVR_GTBMote HMI Display, which presents important data locally. In addition, a personalized online dashboard is reachable via user accounts, offering operators a thorough and intuitive user interface. Operators may make well-informed decisions on the maintenance and operation of the gas turbine by using the dashboard's vibration data charts, live trending data, and time-based data analysis.
