Remote tuning for gas turbines

摘要

A system and method for tuning a gas turbine (200) comprises a turbine controller (210) coupled to the gas turbine (200), a first computer system coupled to the turbine controller (210) and located locally to the gas turbine (200), and a second computer system (240) for exchanging data with the first computer system. The second computer system (240) is located remotely from the gas turbine (200) and exchanges data with the first computer system via a network connection such as the internet, an intranet or a virtual private network (VPN). Data relating to a characteristic such as turbine combustion dynamics and/or emissions is transmitted by the first computer system to the second computer system (240). The second computer system (240) transmits control data over the network connection to the first computer to tune the gas turbine (200).
