<p>A system (200) for use in monitoring a synchronous machine (300) includes a plurality of winding inter-turn portions (325). The synchronous machine is operatively coupled to a power conversion assembly (420). The system includes a memory device (110) configured to store a plurality of operational measurements of at least one of the power conversion assembly and the synchronous machine. Each operational measurement is associated with a time. The system also includes a processor (115) operatively coupled in communication with the memory device. The memory device includes programmed computer instructions that instruct the processor to calculate a plurality of impedances downstream of the power conversion assembly. Each calculated impedance is associated with a time. The memory device also includes programmed computer instructions that instruct the processor to estimate at least one short circuit associated with adjacent winding inter-turn portions based on the calculated impedances.</p> |
