  • System and method for hybrid risk modeling of turbomachinery
    Patent number: 8712739
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for enhancing turbomachine operations. Such systems and methods include a hybrid risk model. The hybrid risk model includes a physics-based sub model and a statistical sub model. The physics-based sub model is configured to model physical components of a turbomachine. The statistical sub model is configured to model historical information of the turbomachine. The hybrid risk model is configured to calculate a turbomachine parameter.
