Claim:
1. A method comprising: identifying, by one or more computer processors of a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, configuration information associated with a generator; generating, by the one or more computer processors, a set of one or more configured rules from one or more configurable base rules based at least in part on the configuration information associated with the generator, wherein the set of the one or more configured rules comprises a static component and a configurable component, wherein the static component defines relationships between one or more measured parameters associated with the generator, the one or more measured parameters indicative of a potential fault condition, and wherein the configurable component defines relationships between the static component and one or more installation parameters associated with the generator, wherein the static component further includes a rule to determine the potential fault condition based at least in part on a difference between a temperature difference between an inlet and an outlet of a cooling circuit of the generator and an average value of the temperature difference exceeding a first threshold; analyzing, by the one or more computer processors, the one or more measured parameters and the one or more installation parameters associated with the generator based at least in part on the set of one or more configured rules; generating, by the one or more computer processors, output information associated with the generator based at least in part on the analyzing; utilizing, by the one or more computer processors, at least a portion of the output information to facilitate identifying one or more failure conditions associated with the generator; and generating, by the one or more computer processors, one or more recommendations for addressing the one or more failure conditions.
