Tiger: Continuous Diagnosis of Gas Turbines
نویسندگان
چکیده
The TIGER system is in continuous use on 20 gas turbines across four continents. Continuously performing fault diagnosis of industrial gas turbines used for power generation. TIGER receives several hundred data inputs at a once per second interval and performs several layers of fault detection and diagnosis using expert system techniques in a temporal reasoning rulebase. Development of the system has now extended for more than six years and more than 80 man-years. The diagnostics are supported by an extensive user interface, data archive, trending and display system. Across the 20 current locations, TIGER has helped to identify and diagnose over 700 incidents representing 200 different fault categories. Because of the high value of gas turbines and the high expenses in operating them, TIGER's benefit is considerable and has been documented at $150,000 or more for most of the locations.

Model-based Approach for Multi-sensor Fault Identification in Power Plant Gas Turbines
In this paper, the multi-sensor fault diagnosis in the exhaust temperature sensors of a V94.2 heavy duty gas turbine is presented. A Laguerre network-based fuzzy modeling approach is presented to predict the output temperature of the gas turbine for sensor fault diagnosis. Due to the nonlinear dynamics of the gas turbine, in these models the Laguerre filter parts are related to the linear d...
متن کاملTIGER: Knowledge Based Gas Turbine Condition Monitoring
Given the critical nature of gas turbines in most industrial plants, their availability is of prime importance. Associated maintenance costs can also be extremely high and hence, it is a high priority to find ways of reducing maintenance costs and increasing the availability of the gas turbine. Routine preventative maintenance techniques have been used for many years to minimise major problems ...

PDS (Process Diagnosis System) is an expert system shell developed in the early 1980's. It could handle thousands of sensor inputs and produce thousands of diagnostic messages with confidence factors based on complex logic designed to mimic the thinking of human experts. PDS went into commercial operation in 1985 to monitor seven power plant generators from a centralized diagnostic center at We...
