Process for adaptive modeling of performance degradation

摘要

The present subject matter is directed to methods and systems for providing adaptive modeling of performance degradation in a system (100), particularly, a gas turbine system. A performance model is provided and operated as both a calibration model (112) and a baseline model (114). Data produced during both operations is stored (116) and differences there between is used in adaptive logic (120), which may correspond to a neural network, to predict performance degradation to control operation of a system baseline model. Data from operation of the system baseline model may also be stored and used with data from the calibration model and baseline model in the adaptive logic.
