Gas turbines are complex systems consisting of multiple subsystems, including compressors, combustors, turbines, and control units. Ensuring their reliability requires a rigorous validation process. This work presents a Gas Turbine Subsystem Validation Tool (GTSVT) designed to simulate, test, and verify the performance of individual subsystems under varying operating conditions. The tool provides engineers with a modular environment for testing models, detecting faults, and validating compliance with performance and safety requirements.
The Gas Turbine Subsystem Validation Tool follows a modular approach:
Subsystem Modeling: Thermodynamic and mechanical models of compressors, combustors, turbines, and fuel systems.
Data Integration: Sensor inputs for temperature, pressure, vibration, and emissions.
Validation Engine: Simulation of performance under nominal and extreme conditions.
Fault Detection Module: Machine learning models trained to detect anomalies in subsystem data streams.
Reporting & Compliance: Generates validation reports aligned with industry standards (e.g., FAA, ISO).
Validation accuracy of 95% against experimental benchmarks.
Detection of subsystem anomalies with 93% sensitivity and 90% specificity.
Reduced validation cycle time by 30% compared to traditional methods.
