Model-based performance estimation

Abstract:

A controller includes a processor and memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, are configured to cause the processor to receive measurements pertaining to a measured operation parameter of at least a portion of a turbine system. The instructions are also configured to cause the processor to generate a customized model for the at least the portion of the turbine system. Moreover, the instructions are configured to cause the processor to estimate an estimated value using the received measurements. The estimated value pertains to a parameter of the turbine system. Furthermore, the instructions are configured to cause the processor to using the customized model, reduce or remove at least some environmental conditions from a corrected estimated value derived from the estimated value.
