Self-generating engine-specific health monitoring model from generic model base

摘要

A method for self-generating an engine-specific model in an engine health monitoring system is provided. The method comprises generating a generic engine model including a generic physics-based model for each of a plurality of engine components in the specific engine; capturing a plurality of observed engine component parameters for each of the plurality of engine components and a plurality of observed environmental parameters during one or more pre-planned training missions; and training an engine-specific model using the plurality of observed engine component parameters and the plurality of environmental parameters captured during the one or more pre-planned training missions, wherein the engine-specific model includes an engine-specific physics-based model for each of the plurality of engine components in the specific engine. Each engine-specific physics-based model for an engine component is configured for use in predicting one or more engine component parameters using a second plurality of observed environmental parameters captured during an operational mission.
