Reclamation Information Sharing Environment (RISE)

Previous research in machine condition monitoring produced and refined a system which quantifies generator operation characteristics. This system has helped Reclamation facilities better predict maintenance requirements, avoiding several million dollars of unnecessary, unscheduled outage costs. This research effort focused on expanding functionality and incorporating new condition monitoring tools which add valuable insights for use in condition-based maintenance and allowing offline analysis of collected data and sharing of data with data aggregators for deeper and longer-term analysis. Increased adoption and use of machine condition monitoring inside reclamation and sharing of the technology outside Reclamation was also a goal.
