Summary: | An approach for detecting rotor anomalies is disclosed. Vibration data for a vibration sensor(s) and for a transient speed operation is classified into a plurality of rotor speed ranges. A predetermined percentile vibration amplitude is determined for each rotor speed range for the vibration sensor(s). Using historical vibration measurement data obtained from a predetermined number of previous transient speed operations performed by at least the rotor, it is determine whether a vibration measurement obtained during the transient speed operation is indicative of a rotor anomaly by determining whether a trend exists in the predetermined percentile vibration amplitude for at least one of the rotor speed ranges and the vibration sensor(s) over a preset number of previous transient speed operations. A rotor anomaly is indicated where a trend exists. |
