The Health Score (HS) for one hydropower generator was deteriorating over time. In April 2023, the HS reached a low of 88%. After a maintenance event correction, the HS was back up to the historically normal level of 95%. In addition to the vibration trends returning to normal levels, the Health Score also returned to normal. While Health Scores are trendable, they are not intended for proactive machinery diagnostics but are instead useful as a confirming indicator that the correct maintenance or remedial procedure was performed.
