Steam turbine performance testing

摘要

A steam turbine performance testing system (16), including at least one computer hardware device, including a neural network (18) created using a dynamic steam turbine thermodynamic model (20) and preliminary data collected from a steam turbine (14); a network tester (32) for testing the neural network (18) with testing data; a current performance calculator (34) for calculating a current performance of the steam turbine (14) from operation data of the steam turbine (14); and a projected performance calculator (36) for calculating a projected performance of the steam turbine (14) from the current performance.
