      abstract = {In order to improve the efficiency and implement preventive or condition-based maintenance it is essential that a system that signals early warning of failure is provided so that appropriate restoration decision is made to forestall such failure. An Integrated Condition Monitoring System (ICMS) is developed to monitor parameters responsible for health condition of a 5 kW micro steam power plant. ICMS was designed to monitor those critical parameters that their abrupt change in values beyond design thresholds can lead to catastrophic failure. These parameters are steam temperature, steam pressure, steam mass flow rate, current, and voltage. The system was developed by using appropriate sensors programmed on Arduino UNO.  Test was carried out in five replicates and the outcomes compared with the design/threshold values. The experimental results were within the limits of threshold values indicating that the plant?s health condition is normal.  Results also show that the sensors? capacities and performance are adequate with data variations in all cases less than 5%. Hence, the device is efficient, and has ability to predict imminent failure thereby safe cost and time of carrying out breakdown maintenance.},
