Claim Text:
1. A system for remote detection of surge in a fleet of turbine engines, said system comprising: an on-site monitoring device coupled to each turbine engine of the fleet of turbine engines, said on-site monitoring device configured to continuously receive operating parameter measurements indicative of operational and thermodynamic conditions of the turbine engine, wherein said operational condition comprises a compressor exit condition of the turbine engine compressor, said on-site monitoring device further configured to compile and transmit a snapshot of said operating parameter measurements to a remote monitoring unit; a remote monitoring unit remote from each turbine engine of the fleet of turbine engines, said remote monitoring unit configured to receive said snapshot of said operating parameter measurements from said on-site monitoring device, said remote monitoring unit further configured to detect surge in the turbine engine based on said snapshot of said operating parameter measurements; and a plurality of sensors configured to transmit the operating parameter measurements to said on-site monitoring device, wherein said remote monitoring unit performs data quality and out-of-range sensor checks on said snapshot of the operating parameter measurements to determine if said plurality of sensors are operating properly.
