Why Online Oil Monitoring? It’s already happening!
• Market leaders are implementing online programs to
capture real time oil quality to reduce the reliance on
periodic sampling
• Example: Poseidon is monitoring wear debris on over 2,500 wind
turbines, doubling in 2019
• Better detection capability than offline capabilities alone
• Detect failure events when they happen; like coolant
contamination, dirty fuel, lubricated metallic components faults,
etc.
• Capture faults regardless of location
• Capture faults regardless of asset location
• Assets tracked and measured while in service, instead of once a
month

What is Impedance Spectroscopy?
Permittivity, conductivity, dielectric, etc.
• Only measure one point on this curve – capturing
only a small amount of the total information
Impedance Spectroscopy
• Sensing method based on analyzing a fluid’s
electrical properties across a range of frequencies
• Provides more information about an oil’s
properties than single frequency analysis
• Zero consumables as compared to in-situ test kits

9. ©2018 Poseidon Systems, LLC –
Proprietary Information 9
• At low to medium frequencies the sensor
measures the bulk impedance of the oil
• Polar additives
• Oxidation products
• Contaminants
• Typically shows a rise in value as new oil
mixes with old, additives agglomerate,
additives surround contaminants
• Downward trend indicative of decreasing
additive health
• Accelerating downward slope indicative of
contamination

Metallic wear debris monitoring enables:
• Earliest detection of mechanical degradation
• Particle size distribution can be used to isolate type of
fault (i.e., geartooth crack vs bearing spall)
• Estimate of remaining useful life and whether safe
operation can continue for a period of time, or if
immediate shutdown must occur
• Reduced number of inspections

Technology Overview
• One or more coil windings around a non-conductive fluid passage (sensing bore)
• Coil is excited with a high frequency oscillating voltage
• Resulting magnetic field couples with metallic particle present within the field
• Particle passage result in a measurable impedance change in sensing coils
• Detected as amplitude and phase shifts
• Magnitude indicates size of the particle
• Relative phase angle indicates particle type (ferrous or nonferrous)
• Width of disturbance represents the speed of the particle

Life Gauge Overview
• Wear debris is a direct measurement
of gearbox damage
• Poseidon’s sensor can detect flow
rates & therefore concentrations
• Poseidon has several life gauge
indicators, 2 key measurements are:
1. Rate of material loss
2. Fault Severity
Fault Severity
Total Ferrous Metal Lost (mg)
Rate of Material Loss
Concentration (ug/L)

24. Wear Rates – Why Online?
• Wear metal generation is not a continuous,
predictable process
• It is typically observed in bursts
• Samples drawn minutes can vary by orders of
magnitude
• Impractical to analyze frequently enough to
characterize gearbox health
• Online, inductive coil sensors are not skewed by:
• Presence of nonmetallic particles
• Oil changes
• Filter media changes
Wear metal concentrations vary dramatically based
on operating conditions. Accurate conclusions
cannot be drawn from periodic sampling.

25. Lab Samples & ISO Codes Don’t Predict Health
Viewing particle count data by ISO code or iron concentrations
from lab samples is unclear
• Case Study Across 140 Assets:
• 70ppm Alarm
• 0.8% false alarms (1/119)
• 100% missed detection (0/18)
• 100% nuisance (1/1)
• 50ppm Warning
• 13% false alarms (16/119)
• 72% missed detections (13/18)
• 77% nuisance (17/22)
• Lab recommended limits of 25/14/11
• Exceeded on every gearbox for >6 and >14µm
Little to no value for taking actionable insights or measuring
health

26. ©2018 Poseidon Systems, LLC –
Proprietary Information 26
Online Does Predict Health
After estimating particle mass and
calculating the sum across bin sizes,
we see that T9 and T10 are actually
generating more wear material.
Both assets had faulted gearboxes.

Online vs. Offline Example
