Abstract: A method and a system for analyzing turbomachinery is provided. In one embodiment, a system for analyzing turbomachinery is provided. The system includes an intelligent turbomachinery tracking filter (ITTF) system configured to determine one or more performance shifts for one or more components of the turbomachinery based on a plurality of turbomachinery parameters. The system further includes a root cause analyzer configured to determine a root cause of the turbomachinery performance based on the one or more performance shifts. The one or more performance shifts include trended data.

Abstract: A system, in one embodiment, provides means for acquired measurements of one or more operating parameters of a turbine engine. The system further includes means for determining an estimated value of a performance parameter of interest at a current time based at least partially upon the acquired measurements, means for adjusting a deterioration model at the current time based on a historical set of estimated values from previous times, and means for forecasting performance changes in the turbine engine based on the adjusted deterioration model.

Abstract: Variable elements of a turbine engine such as variable inlet guide vanes, variable bleed valves and variable stator vanes can be adjusted to provide a desired level of power and/or efficiency for the turbine engine across a range of operating conditions. The variable element settings typically determined through experimentation when the engine is new. Unfortunately, over the life cycle of the turbine engine, as wear occurs, the original variable element settings may no longer provide a desired level of power and efficiency. To correct this problem, offsets to the original variable element settings are calculated based on observable operational conditions which provide a measure of the wear that has occurred. The offsets are applied to the original variable element settings to generate corrected variable element settings. These corrected variable element settings are then used to configure the turbine engine.

Abstract: A method for monitoring the health of a turbine is provided. The method comprises monitoring a turbine engine having a plurality of engine modules and determining one or more health estimates, which may included trended data, for one or more of the engine modules, based on a plurality of engine parameters. The method further determining and transmitting appropriate notifications that indicate repairs to be made to the turbine engine.
