International audienceMost methods for condition monitoring are based on the analysis and characterization of physical quantities that are three-dimensional in nature. Plotted in a three-dimensional Euclidian space as a function of time, such quantities follow a trajectory whose geometric characteristics are representative of the state of the monitored system. Usual condition monitoring techniques often study the measured quantities component by component, without taking into account their three-dimensional nature and the geometric properties of their tra-jectory. A significant part of the information is thus ignored. This article details a method dedicated to the analysis and processing of three-component quantities, capable of highlighting the special geometric features of such data and providing complementary information for condition monitoring. The proposed method is applied to two experimental cases: bearing fault monitoring in rotating machines, and voltage dips monitoring in three-phase power networks. In this two cases, the obtained results are promising and show that the estimated geometric indicators lead to complementary information that can be useful for condition monitoring
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
