  • Publication number: 20250215884
    Abstract: A method for operating a power generation device, including the steps of: providing that the power generation device includes a charge air compressor; detecting a charge air pressure downstream of the charge air compressor, and checking the charge air pressure downstream of the charge air compressor for a pressure drop; detecting an additional operating parameter of the power generation device which is correlated with the charge air pressure; evaluating the additional operating parameter in regard to a plausibility of a surge event having caused the pressure drop in the charge air pressure; and identifying the surge event of the charge air compressor if a drop in the charge air pressure—which is detected—is identified, and, based on the step of evaluating the additional operating parameter, the surge event is evaluated to be plausible for having caused the pressure drop in the charge air pressure.
