摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method of detecting a predetermined condition in a gas turbine (10) and to a failure detection system for a gas turbine (10). The invention analyses instantaneous temperature readings from different locations (42, 32) in or outside/downstream a combustion system (22) of the gas turbine (10) by calculating the variance (130) for each measurement location (42, 32) during a predetermined time period. The variance of one measurement location is selected and than compared with a threshold that is based on at least two of the other variances of the other measurement locations (140, 150). If the said one selected variance goes above the threshold the occurrence of the predetermined condition is detected (170, 180).
