In this work a new operational safety assessment approach with wavelet R\u00e9nyi entropy utilizing sensor-dependent vibration signals is proposed. On the basis of a professional sensor and the corresponding system, sensor-dependent vibration signals are acquired and analyzed by a second generation wavelet package, which reflects time-varying operational characteristic of individual machinery. Derived from the sensor-dependent signals\u2019 wavelet energy distribution over the observed signal frequency range, wavelet R\u00e9nyi entropy is defined to compute the operational uncertainty of a turbo generator, which is then associated with its operational safety degree. The proposed method is applied in a 50 MW turbo generator, whereupon it is proved to be reasonable and effective for operation and maintenance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s150408898","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,16]],"date-time":"2015-04-16T10:37:57Z","timestamp":1429180677000},"page":"8898-8918","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Operational Safety Assessment of Turbo Generators with Wavelet R\u00e9nyi Entropy from Sensor-Dependent Vibration Signals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Xiaoli","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Road Construction Technology and Equipment, Ministry of Education, Chang'an University, Xi'an 710064, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory for Manufacturing and Systems Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an 710049, PR China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Baojian","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory for Manufacturing and Systems Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an 710049, PR China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xuefeng","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory for Manufacturing and Systems Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an 710049, PR China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Boyce, M.P.
