To ensure reliable and efficient operation of gas turbines, multiple model (MM) approaches have been extensively studied for online fault detection and isolation (FDI).However, current MM-FDI approaches are difficult to directly apply to gas path FDI, which is one click here of the common faults in gas turbines and is understood to mainly be due to the high complexity and computation in updating hypothetical gas path faults for online applications.In this paper, a fault contribution matrix (FCM) based MM-FDI approach is proposed to implement gas path FDI over a wide operating range.As the FCM is realized via an additive term of the healthy model set, the hypothetical models for various gas path faults can be easily established and updated online.In addition, a gap metric analysis method for operating points selection is also proposed, which yields the healthy model set from the equal intervals linearized models jolly rancher filled gummies to approximate the nonlinearity of the gas turbine over a wide range of operating conditions with specified accuracy and computational efficiency.

Simulation case studies conducted on a two-shaft marine gas turbine demonstrated the proposed approach is capable of adaptively updating hypothetical model sets to accurately differentiate both single and multiple faults of various gas path faults.
