Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system includes a monitoring and/or protection system that includes an insulation derivation circuit. The insulation derivation circuit is configured to derive a first temperature compensation curve based on a first temperature and a first current, and the monitoring and/or protection system is configured to communicatively couple to a first current sensor configured to sense the first current traversing a first phase of a stator winding of a motor, a generator, or a combination thereof. The insulation derivation circuit is also configured to communicatively couple to a first temperature sensor configured to sense the first temperature of the stator when the stator is energized, and the temperature compensation curve is configured to map a temperature to a leakage dissipation factor.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a monitoring and/or protection system comprising an insulation derivation circuit having a processor configured to receive a first temperature signal from a first temperature sensor and a first current signal from a first current sensor, wherein the processor is configured to generate a first temperature compensation curve based on the first temperature signal and on the first current signal; wherein the first current sensor is sensing a first current traversing a first phase of a stator winding of a motor, a generator, or a combination thereof, the first temperature sensor is sensing a first temperature of the stator when the stator is energized, and wherein the first temperature compensation curve maps a temperature to a leakage dissipation factor. 2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the insulation derivation circuit comprises a memory storing the first temperature compensation curve, and wherein the processor is configured to use the first temperature compensation curve to derive a degradation of an insulation of the first phase of the stator winding. 3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to derive a second temperature compensation curve based on the first temperature signal and the first current signal, and wherein the second temperature compensation curve is derived a period of time after the derivation of the first temperature compensation curve. 4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the insulation derivation circuit comprises a rack-mountable card. 5. The system of claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to receive input representative of an insulation of the first phase of a stator winding to pre-calculate the first temperature compensation curve. 6. The system of claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to dynamically create the first temperature compensation curve. 7. The system of claim 1 , comprising the stator having a second phase comprising a second winding, a third phase comprising a third winding, and a second current sensor coupled to the third winding, wherein the processor is configured to receive a second current signal from the second current sensor, wherein the processor is configured to derive the first temperature compensation curve based on the second current signal. 8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first current sensor comprises a high sensitivity current transducer (HSCT), a high voltage sensor (HVS), or a combination thereof. 9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the insulation derivation circuit comprises a memory communicatively coupled to the processor storing a linear analysis process, a non-linear analysis process, a neural network, a genetic algorithm, an expert system, or a combination thereof, configured to derive the first temperature compensation curve.
