Abstract
A system has been developed for collecting and analyzing data regarding the operation of gas turbines. The system provides reports of the operational hours of a gas turbine. The reports are useful in scheduling maintenance of gas turbines. The system includes a network of sensors monitoring the gas turbine and outputting operational data to a local computer system. A remote database server periodically collects data from several on-site systems for a plurality of gas turbines, and this data is analyzed using criteria that precisely define certain gas turbine operational events in terms that can be automatically applied to operational data collected from the gas turbines.
