ABSTRACT
The gas path analysis, which can quantify the performance degradation of gas turbine components, has been extensively applied to the gas path diagnosis. However, the precondition of this method is that the number of measurable parameters for the gas turbine to be diagnosed should not be less than the number of its health factors. In the existing research, this precondition can be guaranteed through common approaches such as screening the degraded components by a model-based prediagnosis process or recognizing the degraded components by using tools such as an ANN or a support vector machine. However, the diagnosis speed, recognition accuracy, and robustness of these approaches need to be improved. Therefore, a diagnosis method fusing the gas path performance analysis model and the extreme learning machine was proposed in this paper and applied to a GE LM2500+SAC gas turbine. The working mechanism of similarity ranking-gas path diagnosis-rationality check was introduced in the fusion method, endowing it with a higher recognition accuracy rate, stronger robustness, and higher diagnostic accuracy.
