Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method of performing condition-based predictive compressor maintenance, comprising: determining, by operation of one or more computer processors, an estimated power consumption level of a compressor for a given time period; monitoring one or more operational parameters of the compressor during the time period and an actual power consumption level of the compressor during the time period; determining, by operation of the one or more computer processors, whether a power over consumption event has occurred, based on the estimated power consumption level and the actual consumption level; upon determining a power over consumption event has occurred, evaluating the monitored operational parameters to determine an appropriate corrective action, wherein the corrective action comprises modifying an operational state of the compressor reflected in one of the operational parameters; and performing the corrective action for the compressor experiencing the power overconsumption event.
