SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF SYSTEMS THAT EXHIBIT VARIABLE PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS AT DIFFERENT OPERATING CONDITIONS

摘要

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.

1. A method for translating performance characteristics of a system from one system condition to another system condition, the method comprising the steps of:
sensing, at a current system condition, a first system performance parameter and a second system performance parameter, the first and second system performance parameters corresponding to a measured performance characteristic value of the system; retrieving, from a memory, a first reference performance datum associated with the first and second system performance parameters at the current system condition; retrieving, from the memory, a second reference performance datum associated with the first and second system performance parameters at a selected reference system condition; calculating, in a processor, a difference between the first reference performance datum and the second reference performance datum, to thereby generate a translation value; and translating, in the processor, the measured performance characteristic value of the system an amount equal to the data translation value, to thereby generate a corrected performance characteristic value of the system at the selected reference system condition.
