You mentioned: “However, the online monitoring method as well as the fault detection have not been investigated more detail. Therefore, based on the previous reality of research, this study is aimed to address these challenges by proposing an online monitoring non-invasive method to identify degradations or faults of the CRDM in HTGR”.
To make this part clearer, you should describe:
How current online monitoring methods implemented in HTGR and what problems are exist
How fault detections are currently performed in HTGR and what problems are exist
Then you can claim that you want to address these challenges.
Unfortunately, in current state, I cannot see the challenges and the contributions of your research.
Last paragraph of
Section Introduction
You mentioned: “This paper demonstrates the condition motoring method of stepper motor-based CRDM through several detail steps. Firstly, online condition monitoring of the logic patterns control is carried out, followed by the stepper motor driver block.
Secondly, a case example in online detection of motor’s faults due to corrosion problems based on measured voltage, stator current and torque is also investigated.
These steps are carried out to ensure that the proposed online non-invasive method covers all components as well as to ensure the applicability of the method for condition monitoring purposes.”
This part is not clear. You should say, for example:
“This paper describes the proposed Online Non-Invasive Method to monitor the condition of stepping motor CRDM in HTGR. The proposed method consists of ……..
or The proposed method applies …… to…. and …. to …… To see the effectiveness and the applicability of the proposed method, a case study on …… is provided.”
Then you provide one Section to describe steps of your proposed method in details to enable readers following and applying the proposed method.
Experimental Method
I cannot see any information on a typical HTGR CRDM. Why do you proposed your method for HTGR only?
Results and
Discussion
I cannot find any discussion, which is specific on HTGR CRDM.
Conclusion
You claim: “It can be concluded from the research that the proposed monitoring technique based on the supply voltage, stator current, and torque give a comprehensive approach for the condition monitoring of CRDM HTGR without stopping and damaging the motor.”
How can you come to such conclusion?
Final comments and recommendati ons:
There is a standard approach for proposing a method, i.e. description on steps of the proposed method, illustration on how the proposed method to work and validation using a case study to show the applicability of the proposed method to solve the defined problem. Finally, the advantageous and the weaknesses of the proposed method are described. Hence, based on your title, I expect your manuscript to describe steps of the Online Non-Invasive Method to monitor the condition of Stepping Motor CRDM. To validate the method, you then provide a case study to monitor the condition of the Stepping Motor CRDM in HTGR and benchmark the results. To emphasize the applicability of your proposed method, you can describe the advantageous offered by your proposed method. Unfortunately, I cannot see all of these standard approaches in your present manuscript.
