5.7.2 Engine diagnostic module
The engine diagnostic module of WiDE analyses the engine data against prede-
fined references in real time, identifying deviations between the measured and
reference data. The results are then consolidated and potential issues are high-
lighted to the crew. Recommendations are provided for corrective actions, al-
lowing operators to improve engine operation and optimise engine performance
and maintenance planning. Spare parts information is provided to support main-
tenance.
Analysis
WiDE analyses the engine data to obtain a full diagnostic assessment using sev-
eral methods:
• The ‘digital twin’, an engine thermodynamic model which is calibrated at
the engine’s shop test and sea trial, receives and is simulated by real-time
engine parameter inputs. This provides an ongoing performance assessment
by measuring deviations between the digital twin and the real engine.
• An algorithm rule set, which is based on WinGD’s expert knowledge, is
used to monitor, analyse and diagnose the health of engine components
• Data monitoring and collection also enables a progressive performance
evaluation and improvement
Prediction and
troubleshooting
The real time engine analysis performed by WiDE provides an early anomaly de-
tection warning. If a potential fault is diagnosed, the operator is notified, ena-
bling them to decide on immediate action. The WiDE troubleshooting process is
described in the following sequence:
• Initial proposed actions follow the directions of the engine operation
manual
• If required, WiDE enables connection to WinGD experts for technical sup-
port and remote troubleshooting
• WiDE also creates relevant reports for future reference
Support
In addition, WiDE maintains a record of events on the main engine and has a
module to support planned maintenance. Spare parts required for maintenance
tasks can be listed. This checks the available stock level and provides orders ac-
cordingly.
Software availability
WinGD provides the WiDE engine diagnostic software on a ‘Software-as-a-Ser-
vice’ basis. The software license is provided as part of an annual subscription
