A reliability evaluation system for ceramic gas turbines.

Data - Driven Models for Reliability Prognostics of Gas Turbines

This thesis develops three data-driven models of a commercially operating gas turbine, and applies inference techniques for reliability prognostics. The models focus on capturing feature signals (continuous state) and operating modes (discrete state) that are representative of the remaining useful life of the solid welded rotor. The first model derives its structure from a non-Bayesian parametr...

A Microprocessor-Based System for Monitoring Gas Turbines

The development and testing of hardware and software for a microprocessor-based monitoring system for gas turbines is described in this paper. The operators of gas turbines can be trained to monitor running hours, slip between high and low pressure compressor spools and torque on the reduction gear-box under various conditions of operation. The system will replace the traditional method of moni...

Techno-Economic and Environmental Evaluation of Expansion Turbines for Gas Field Improvement (Case study)

Regarding the increased energy consumption of the processes at the operational units in the National Iranian Oil Company, the present study analyzed energy consumption at one of the gas refineries. In this refinery, which is the main supplier of Fajr Jam refinery for the national gas network, as well as an injection into the oil fields of the Iranian South oil company, the pressure of gas after...

Optimization the Efficiency of Gas Turbines for Air Pollution Reduction

Increasing concerns about energy and emissions from fuel consumption in gas turbines has attracted many researchers to protect the environment and reduce pollutants in the world. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the increasing efficiency of three-stroke gas turbine operation based on the technical analysis of the operation of three-axis gas turbine cycles with non-design condi...
