  • Systems and methods for testing a gas turbine
    Patent number: 10107716
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to performance testing of a gas turbine. In one embodiment, a gas turbine performance testing system can include a server, a transducer system, a signal converter, and an automated gas chromatograph. The transducer system acquires one or more functional parameters of the gas turbine and the signal converter converts the functional parameters acquired by the transducer system to gas turbine operational data. The automated gas chromatograph automatically analyzes a test sample of a natural gas that is used to operate the gas turbine. The gas turbine operational data generated by the signal converter and the analysis information obtained from the test sample are provided to the server for propagating via a communication network, to a client computer where the gas turbine operational data and the analysis information can be used to obtain a gas turbine performance test result.
