SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELECTRIC PROPULSION PERFORMANCE MONITORING

A electric propulsion performance monitoring system (100) and method (500), the method including generating (504) a propulsion model (202) associated with operation of an electric motor (106), determining (506) expected parameter values according to the propulsion model, where the expected parameters values are values of a parameter acquirable during the operation of the electric motor, determining (508) a plurality of delayed parameter value sets, where each delayed parameter value set is associated with the expected parameter values at a different associated delay from a time associated with the expected parameter values, determining (510, 512), according to the expected parameter values and the plurality of delayed parameter value sets, parameter boundaries, acquiring (520) a first parameter value for the operation of the electric motor, raising (532) an error flag in response to the first parameter value falling outside the parameter boundaries, and generating (534) commands for modifying operation of the electric motor in response to the error flag being raised.
