System and method for real-time detection of gas turbine or aircraft engine blade problems

摘要

A method and system are implemented to detect gas turbine blade problems in real time and provide more accurate prediction capabilities than known techniques due to inclusion of physics-based correction and temperature modeling methods for the hot gas path parts lifing. The system and method use pyrometer data and operational data to generate physics-based corrections of pyrometer data and physics-based bucket temperature estimations and failure signatures.
