Title: Systems and method for continuous performance analysis of systems that exhibit variable performance characteristics at different operating conditions
Inventor: LING RICHARD
IPC: G07C3/00
Filed: 2014-01-29
Abstract: A system and method for translating performance characteristics of a system from one system condition to another system condition includes sensing, at a current system condition, a first system performance parameter and a second system performance parameter. The first and second system performance parameters correspond to a measured performance characteristic value of the system. A first reference performance datum associated with the first and second system performance parameters at the current system condition, and a second reference performance datum associated with the first and second system performance parameters at a selected reference system condition are both retrieved from a memory. A difference between the first and second reference performance data is calculated to generate a translation value. The measured performance characteristic value of the system is then translated an amount equal to the data translation value, whereby a corrected performance characteristic value at the selected reference system condition is generated.
