In the paper, a comprehensive methodology for gas turbine health state determination is applied to a single-shaft Fiat Avio TG 20 gas turbine working in the cogenerative combined cycle power plant of Fiat - Mirafiori (Italy). In order to determine operating state variations from new and clean condition, the following procedures were applied to historical field measurements: - normalization procedure to determine the variations between measured and expected values; - inverse cycle technique to calculate the values of the characteristic parameters that are indices of the machine health state. The application of these techniques to long period operating data allowed measurement validation and the determination of the machine health state. The results showed the good capability of the developed techniques for the determination and the analysis of performance drop due to compressor fouling and to turbine malfunction.

Abstract

In the paper, a comprehensive methodology for gas turbine health state determination is applied to a single-shaft Fiat Avio TG 20 gas turbine working in the cogenerative combined cycle power plant of Fiat - Mirafiori (Italy). In order to determine operating state variations from new and clean condition, the following procedures were applied to historical field measurements: - normalization procedure to determine the variations between measured and expected values; - inverse cycle technique to calculate the values of the characteristic parameters that are indices of the machine health state. The application of these techniques to long period operating data allowed measurement validation and the determination of the machine health state. The results showed the good capability of the developed techniques for the determination and the analysis of performance drop due to compressor fouling and to turbine malfunction.
