Abstract
A monitoring system includes an analytical engine system coupled to a plurality of sensors of an engine system. The analytical engine system is configured to determine a model probability distribution based on model data, determine a distance threshold value of the model probability distribution based at least in part on a threshold percentage, determine a window probability distribution based on window data sampled from the engine system, determine a fraction of the window probability distribution that is greater than the distance threshold value, and generate a lubricant alert signal when the fraction is greater than a temperature anomaly threshold. The model data includes model temperature data and model load data. The window data includes window temperature data and window load data that is based at least in part on feedback from the plurality of sensors during operation of the engine system.
