Technology centered organisations must be able to identify promising new products or
process improvements at an early stage so that the necessary resources can be allocated to …

This paper presents a critical and analytical description of an ongoing research program
aimed at the implementation of an expert system capable of monitoring, through an …

Increased fuel costs have created a strong incentive for gas turbine operators to understand,
minimize and control performance deterioration. The most prevalent deterioration problem …

This paper proposes to use an unsupervised artificial neural network model-more
specifically, an autoencoder with tied weights-to extract the typical system response profiles …

This study presents the relationship between exhaust gas temperature (EGT) and engine
operational parameters at two different power settings, including maximum continuous and …

The paper presents an analysis of the effect of ambient humidity on the performance of
industrial gas turbines and examines the impact of humidity on methods used for engine …

Anew method of predicting gas turbine off-design performance is presented. This nethod,
referred to as the core control method, is based on the idea that performance across a gas …

The paper presents an analysis of the effect of ambient humidity on the performance of
industrial gas turbines and examines the impact of humidity on methods used for engine …

Several operating parameters for the control and protection of the units are acquired by the
control and protection systems used in industrial applications. The use of these parameters …

Accurate monitoring of gas turbine performance is a means to an early detection of
performance deviation from the design point and thus to an optimized operational control. In …
