[0002] Gas turbines are widely used in natural gas transmission, power generation, and marine applications, playing a crucial role as core components. However, due to their complex structure and harsh operating conditions, they are prone to failure within the entire system. A malfunction can lead to a decline in unit performance, and in severe cases, require shutdown for maintenance, impacting the power plant's economic viability. Therefore, to improve operational stability and reduce accidents, online monitoring of gas turbines and early warning systems for potential faults are essential.

[0007] S2. Simulation Model Calibration: The simulation model is calibrated using actual gas turbine unit performance test data to ensure that the accuracy of the simulation model meets the requirements.
[0008] S3. Determine the parameters used to monitor the performance of the gas turbine unit, denoted as monitoring performance parameters, including gas turbine power, gas turbine efficiency, compressor pressure ratio, and compressor isentropic efficiency index, and determine the performance index corresponding to the monitoring performance parameters:
[0009] S4. Proxy Model Generation: Let X represent each monitoring performance parameter. For each monitoring performance parameter, a proxy model is generated in the following manner:
[0010] S41. Set the operating condition range, including the range of exhaust temperature EGT, the range of ambient temperature T, the range of ambient pressure P, the range of compressor inlet guide vane opening IGV, and the range of ambient relative humidity Phi.

[0012] S43, for each EGT s The corresponding multiple actual monitoring performance parameters X s After making corrections to eliminate the influence of boundary conditions, the corresponding corrected monitoring performance parameters are obtained, denoted as X. c EGT s The corresponding X c Constituting the data group {EGT s X c}; The exhaust gas temperature EGT for each simulation calculation is obtained. s The corresponding corrected monitoring performance parameter X c This results in multiple data sets {EGT} s X c};
[0013] S44. Using a polynomial fitting method, for all data sets {EGT} s X c By fitting the data, the corrected baseline value X of the monitoring performance parameter is obtained. cstd The functional relationship between X and exhaust temperature cstd =f{EGT}, thus obtaining the baseline value X of the corrected monitoring performance parameter at any exhaust temperature. cstd ;
[0014] S5. Monitoring Model Establishment: Using the proxy model from step S4, obtain the performance index X corresponding to each monitoring performance parameter. index =[(X c -X cstd ) / X cstd *100%; Real-time monitoring of the performance index corresponding to various monitoring performance parameters, reflecting the deviation of the gas turbine unit from the ideal state, and conducting online monitoring of the unit.
[0015] Furthermore, in step S2, after a certain period of operation, the simulation model needs to be recalibrated using the actual operating data of the gas turbine unit.
[0016] Further, in step S41, the exhaust temperature EGT ranges from 520℃ to 620℃, the ambient temperature T ranges from -15℃ to 45℃, the ambient pressure P ranges from 0.95 bar to 1.05 bar, the compressor inlet guide vane opening IGV ranges from 0% to 100%, and the ambient relative humidity Phi ranges from 0% to 100%.
[0017] Furthermore, in step S42, N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5 are all greater than or equal to 5.
[0018] Furthermore, in step S42, the simulation calculation results are organized to obtain each EGT. s The corresponding multiple actual monitoring performance parameters X s And it is displayed in the form of a chart.
[0019] Further, in step S43, for each EGT s The corresponding multiple actual monitoring performance parameters X s The methods for making corrections include:

[0021] S432. The EGT is corrected through four single-factor corrections: environmental pressure correction, environmental temperature correction, IGV correction, and environmental relative humidity correction. s The corresponding multiple actual monitoring performance parameters X s Make corrections, and each single-factor correction is the same, including the following steps:
[0022] S4321. Determine the data group before this correction, denoted as the data group to be corrected. If this correction is the first correction, then the data group to be corrected is the running parameter data group {EGTs, T} of the EGTs selected in step S431. s P s IGV s Phi s X s If this is not the first revision, then the data set to be revised is the data set obtained after the last single-factor revision.

All data sets to be corrected are organized, and data with the same M but different Y are grouped into a set of fitting calculation data sets. Each set of fitting calculation data sets includes multiple data sets.
[0024] S4323. Use the fitting calculation data set to perform fitting calculation, and compare the actual monitoring performance parameters corresponding to different Y values in the same fitting calculation data set with the benchmark monitoring performance parameters X under the benchmark operating conditions. 基 The ratio is processed, and then Y is used as the independent variable and the ratio is used as the dependent variable. Mathematical methods are used to fit the data to obtain the functional relationship between the ratio and Y. Then, based on the functional relationship between the ratio and Y, the actual monitoring performance parameters in each data group to be corrected are corrected, and the corrected actual monitoring performance parameters are calculated. Then, the actual monitoring performance parameters in the data group to be corrected are replaced with the corrected actual monitoring performance parameters to obtain the corrected data group.
[0025] Further, in step S4323, the reference operating conditions include: ambient temperature 15°C, ambient pressure 1 bar, compressor inlet guide vane opening 100%, and ambient relative humidity 60%.
[0026] The present invention also provides a gas turbine unit monitoring system based on a proxy model, including an operation data acquisition device and a monitoring and processing module. The operation data acquisition device acquires the operation parameter data of the gas turbine unit and transmits the relevant operation data to the monitoring and processing module. The monitoring and processing module stores a gas turbine monitoring computer program, which, when executed, can realize the above-mentioned gas turbine unit monitoring method.

[0028] A novel monitoring method is proposed, featuring convenient and rapid model calculations that eliminate the need for repeated iterations, exhibit easy convergence, and high accuracy. On one hand, it can monitor deviations from benchmark values in real time by calculating four key performance indices—gas turbine power, gas turbine efficiency, compressor pressure ratio, and compressor isentropic efficiency—reflecting the unit's operational status. On the other hand, different gas turbine faults have varying impacts on these performance indices; different threshold combinations can be set to provide early warnings of unit faults, offering reference suggestions for power plant operators. This gas turbine unit monitoring method can be based on the power plant's existing control system, eliminating the need for additional monitoring software and saving costs.

[0040] See Figures 1 to 9 This invention provides a gas turbine unit monitoring method based on a surrogate model, comprising the following steps:
[0041] S1. Establish a simulation model of the gas turbine unit, whose main components include the compressor, combustion chamber, turbine, and intake and exhaust modules. The simulation model can be established using modular and mechanistic modeling methods, which are conventional approaches and will not be elaborated upon further.
[0042] S2. Simulation Model Calibration: The simulation model is calibrated using performance test data from actual gas turbine units to ensure that the accuracy of the simulation model meets the requirements. During calibration, preferably, operating conditions with relatively extreme boundary conditions during actual unit operation are selected: high relative humidity, low relative humidity, high ambient pressure, low ambient pressure, high ambient temperature, and low ambient temperature. When the deviations of the simulation model's calculation results at non-design points are all less than the required values, for example, all deviations are less than 1%, the established simulation model of the gas turbine unit is considered to have high accuracy, meets the needs of engineering applications, and can be used to generate subsequent proxy models.
[0043] In this embodiment, as a preferred design, considering the aging effect of the gas turbine unit, the simulation model is recalibrated using the actual operating data of the gas turbine unit after a certain period of operation (e.g., 10,000 operating hours) to ensure that the simulation model can truly reflect the performance of the unit.
[0044] S3. Determine the parameters used to monitor the performance of the gas turbine unit, denoted as monitoring performance parameters, including turbine power PW and turbine efficiency η. e Compressor pressure ratio PR and compressor isentropic efficiency η c And determine the performance index corresponding to the monitored performance parameters.
[0045] Generally, parameters reflecting the performance status of a gas turbine unit include: gas turbine power, gas turbine efficiency, compressor pressure ratio, compressor isentropic efficiency, turbine inlet temperature, turbine efficiency, and exhaust temperature. However, some of these parameters lack operational measurement points and cannot be directly measured. In actual operation, the power level of the gas turbine unit can be adjusted by regulating the exhaust temperature, which indirectly affects other performance parameters. Therefore, it can be considered that there is a certain coupling relationship between exhaust temperature and other parameters, and it can be used as an independent variable for performance parameters. Therefore, the following performance indices can be selected for monitoring performance parameters:
[0046] Gas turbine power index: It represents the deviation between the actual corrected output power and the corresponding reference value at a given exhaust temperature, and is used to reflect the condition of the entire gas turbine unit.
[0047] Gas turbine efficiency index: It represents the deviation between the actual corrected gas turbine efficiency and the corresponding reference value at a given exhaust temperature, and is used to reflect the condition of the entire gas turbine unit.
[0048] Compressor pressure ratio index: It represents the deviation between the actual corrected compressor pressure ratio and the corresponding reference value at a given exhaust temperature, and is used to reflect the condition of the compressor and the possible decrease in flow capacity.
[0049] Compressor isentropic efficiency index: It represents the deviation between the actual corrected compressor isentropic efficiency and the corresponding reference value at a given exhaust temperature, and is used to reflect the condition of the compressor.
[0050] S4. Proxy Model Generation:
[0051] In this invention, surrogate model generation refers to the process of calculating the actual corrected values and corresponding reference values of monitored performance parameters. Gas turbine power PW, gas turbine efficiency η e Compressor pressure ratio PR and compressor isentropic efficiency η c The proxy models for these four monitoring performance parameters are generated in the same way. For ease of explanation, let X represent each monitoring performance parameter, that is, let X refer to PW, η e PR or ηc For each monitored performance parameter, a proxy model is generated in the following manner:
[0052] S41. Set the operating condition range, including the range of exhaust temperature EGT, ambient temperature T, ambient pressure P, compressor inlet guide vane opening IGV, and ambient relative humidity Phi. Preferably, the exhaust temperature EGT range is 520℃~620℃, the ambient temperature T range is -15℃~45℃, the ambient pressure P range is 0.95bar~1.05bar, the compressor inlet guide vane opening IGV range is 0~100%, and the ambient relative humidity Phi range is 0~100%. This operating condition range can cover the actual environmental conditions of a conventional power plant. Furthermore, fuel composition is generally considered relatively stable; the actual fuel composition can be used as input during simulation.
[0053] S42. Select N1 EGTs within the operating condition range. s N2 T s N3 P s , N4 IGV s and N5 Phi s These parameters are used as simulation operating condition parameters and combined to form N. 总 N different simulation operating conditions 总 =N1*N2*N3*N4*N5, using the simulation model of the gas turbine unit to perform simulation calculations, the monitoring performance parameters corresponding to each simulated operating condition are obtained, and denoted as the actual monitoring performance parameter X. s Thus, N is obtained. 总 A set of simulation calculation data {EGT s T s P s IGV s Phi s X s Simultaneously, the simulation results are organized to obtain each EGT. s The corresponding multiple actual monitoring performance parameters X s And it can be displayed in the form of charts.
[0054] In this embodiment, preferably, N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5 are all greater than or equal to 5, resulting in a suitable amount of simulation data. When selecting simulation runtime parameters, N1 EGTs are used. s N2 T s N3 P s , N4 IGV s and N5 Phi s When selecting, it is preferable to elect all at equal intervals, for example, 5 exhaust temperature EGTs.s Divided into 520℃, 545℃, 570℃, 595℃ and 620℃, see [link / reference]. Figures 2 to 5 .
[0055] Through simulation calculations, the gas turbine power PW and gas turbine efficiency η were obtained. e Compressor pressure ratio PR and compressor isentropic efficiency η c The simulation results for these four performance parameters are as follows. Among them, the gas turbine power PW and gas turbine efficiency η are... e The compressor pressure ratio PR can be obtained directly or by acquiring relevant parameters and calculating it, which is a conventional method, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0056] In this invention, the compressor isentropic efficiency is not a directly measured value. It needs to be calculated based on conventional measurement data such as compressor inlet temperature, compressor inlet pressure, compressor outlet temperature, and compressor outlet pressure to obtain the compressor isentropic efficiency under the current operating conditions. The compressor isentropic efficiency module mainly involves the following parameters: compressor inlet temperature T... cin Compressor inlet pressure P cin Compressor outlet temperature T cout Compressor outlet pressure P cout The isentropic efficiency η of the compressor c =(h couts -h1) / (h cout -h1), where: η c The compressor isentropic efficiency, expressed as a percentage (%); h couts h1 is the isentropic enthalpy at the compressor outlet, in kJ / kg; h2 is the enthalpy at the compressor inlet, in kJ / kg; h3 is the isentropic enthalpy at the compressor outlet, in kJ / kg; h4 is the isentropic enthalpy at the compressor outlet, in kJ / kg; h5 is the isentropic enthalpy at the compressor outlet, in kJ / kg; h6 is the isentropic enthalpy at the compressor outlet, in kJ cout The value represents the compressor outlet enthalpy, expressed in kJ / kg. The compressor inlet pressure P can be obtained by operating the measuring points. cin and compressor outlet pressure P cout Using the formula The compressor pressure ratio was calculated. Additionally, the compressor inlet temperature T was obtained through operational measuring points. cin and compressor outlet temperature T cout By substituting the known temperature into the solution for the enthalpy, the enthalpy at the compressor inlet (h1) and the enthalpy at the compressor outlet (h) can be obtained. couts The method for determining the enthalpy value from a known temperature can employ existing, well-established methods, such as: "Calculation and Analysis of Thermal Properties of Working Fluids in Gas Turbines" (Huang Di, Zhou Dengji, et al., Journal of Naval University of Engineering, 2017, 12). Separately, determine... In the formula: h1 is the compressor inlet enthalpy, in kJ / kg; γ is the adiabatic index of air, which is generally taken as 1.4; R is the gas constant of air, in J / (kg·K); T cin π represents the compressor inlet temperature in Kelvin (K). CLet be the compressor pressure ratio. Substituting the parameters obtained above into the formula, the current compressor isentropic efficiency η can be calculated. c The calculation of the compressor's isentropic efficiency can be performed automatically by setting up a calculation program.
[0057] The simulation results of gas turbine power PW are compiled and presented in graphical form to obtain different EGT. s The corresponding actual gas turbine power PW s See Figure 2 As shown. Regarding the gas turbine efficiency η e The simulation results were compiled and presented in chart form to obtain different EGT values. s The corresponding actual gas turbine efficiency η es See Figure 3 As shown, the simulation results of the compressor pressure ratio PR are compiled and presented in graphical form to obtain different EGT. s The corresponding actual compressor pressure ratio PR s See Figure 4 As shown. The isentropic efficiency η of the compressor. c The simulation results were compiled and presented in chart form to obtain different EGT values. s The corresponding actual compressor isentropic efficiency η cs See Figure 5 As shown.
[0058] The calculation results show that at each exhaust temperature, due to differences in boundary conditions (including ambient temperature T, ambient pressure P, compressor inlet guide vane opening IGV, and ambient relative humidity Phi), the actual monitored performance parameter X... s The relationship between these parameters is not one-to-one; instead, multiple actual monitoring performance parameters are obtained. Therefore, the generation process of the surrogate model first requires correcting the actual monitoring performance parameters. By using a fitting method, the measured monitoring performance parameters are corrected to the parameters corresponding to the baseline operating conditions, eliminating the influence of different boundary conditions, in order to obtain a one-to-one correspondence between exhaust temperature and performance parameters.
[0059] S43. For each EGTs, there are multiple actual monitoring performance parameters X. s After making corrections to eliminate the influence of boundary conditions, the final corrected monitoring performance parameter is denoted as X. c Multiple actual monitoring performance parameters X s The corresponding corrected monitoring performance parameters may be the same or different, therefore an EGT s Corresponding to one or more different X c, However, they all fluctuate within a small range around a basic value, EGT s Its corresponding X cConstituting one or more data sets {EGT s X c}; Get each EGT s The corresponding corrected monitoring performance parameter X c This results in multiple data sets {EGT} s X c}
[0060] In this embodiment, preferably, for each EGT s The corresponding multiple actual monitoring performance parameters X s The methods for making corrections include:
[0061] S431, From all simulation calculation data sets {EGT s T s P s IGV s Phi s X s Select to include the EGT. s The simulation calculation data set is denoted as EGT. s The running parameter data group {EGT s T s P s IGV s Phi s X s}, used for this EGT s The corresponding actual monitoring performance parameter X s Make corrections for each EGT s Both have multiple running parameter data groups {EGT s T s P s IGV s Phi s X s}
[0062] S432. The EGT is corrected through four single-factor corrections: environmental pressure correction, environmental temperature correction, IGV correction, and environmental relative humidity correction. s The corresponding multiple actual monitoring performance parameters X s Corrections are made, and each single-factor correction aims to eliminate the influence of one of the following factors—environmental pressure, ambient temperature, IGV, or relative humidity—on the actual monitoring performance parameter X. sThe order of the environmental pressure factor correction, environmental temperature factor correction, IGV factor correction, and environmental relative humidity factor correction is not required. These four single-factor corrections can be performed sequentially. The first single-factor correction is based on the simulation calculation results of step S42 above, and subsequent single-factor corrections are based on the previous single-factor corrections.
[0063] The method for each single-factor adjustment is the same, including the following steps:
[0064] S4321. Determine the data group before this correction, and denot it as the data group to be corrected. If this correction is the first correction, then the data group to be corrected is the EGT selected in step S431. s The running parameter data group {EGT s T s P s IGV s Phi s X s If this is not the first revision, then the data set to be revised is the data set obtained after the last single-factor revision.
[0065] S4322, T s P s IGV s and Phi s Of these four parameters, the factor relevant to this correction is represented by Y, and the other three factors together are represented by M. For example, when this correction is for environmental stress factors, P... s Let Y represent P s IGV s and Phi s Let M represent all the data sets to be corrected. All data sets with the same M but different Y values are grouped into a single set for fitting calculations. Each set of fitting calculation data sets contains multiple data sets.
[0066] S4323. Use the fitting calculation data set to perform fitting calculation, and compare the actual monitoring performance parameters corresponding to different Y values in the same fitting calculation data set with the benchmark monitoring performance parameters X under the benchmark operating conditions. 基 The ratio is processed, and then Y is used as the independent variable, with the ratio as the dependent variable. A mathematical fitting method is used to obtain the functional relationship between the ratio and Y. Then, based on this functional relationship, the actual monitoring performance parameters are corrected using Y and the actual monitoring performance parameters in each data set to be corrected. The corrected actual monitoring performance parameters are calculated, and then all the actual monitoring performance parameters in the data sets to be corrected are replaced with the corrected monitoring performance parameters to obtain the corrected data sets. In this invention, the ambient temperature T in the baseline operating conditions... 基Environmental pressure P 基 IGV (Inlet Guide Vane Opening) of Compressor 基 and ambient relative humidity Phi 基 It can be set according to the actual situation. Preferably, it is set to P. 基 =1 bar, Phi 基 =60, IGV 基 =100%, T 基 =15℃.
[0067] The EGT s Each running parameter data group {EGT s T s P s IGV s Phi s X s After four single-factor corrections—environmental pressure correction, environmental temperature correction, IGV correction, and environmental relative humidity correction—the corresponding corrected monitoring performance parameter X is finally obtained. c Thus, the corrected data set {EGTs, T} is obtained. s P s IGV s Phi s X c}, different corrected data sets {EGT s T s P s IGV s Phi s X c X in} c They may be the same or different, but they all fluctuate within a small range around a base value, that is, for a certain exhaust temperature EGT s It is possible to obtain multiple different X values. c .
[0068] In this embodiment, the monitoring performance parameter X is corrected. c Compared with actual monitoring performance parameter X s The fitting function relationship between them can be denoted as X. c =f{P s Phi s IGV s T s X s At the same exhaust temperature, EGT s Below, X c With X s The ratio between them and P s Phi s IGV s and T sFour conditions are related; therefore, in this embodiment, X is set. c =X s / (f1×f2×f3×f4), where f1 is the environmental pressure correction factor, f2 is the environmental relative humidity correction factor, f3 is the IGV correction factor, and f4 is the environmental temperature correction factor. In this embodiment, the order of environmental pressure correction, environmental temperature correction, IGV correction, and environmental relative humidity correction is taken as an example, and the specific explanation is as follows:
[0069] A. Correction of environmental stress factors, including the following steps:

[0098] The monitoring model mainly achieves online monitoring of the gas turbine unit in two aspects: (a) By monitoring the performance index corresponding to various monitoring performance parameters in real time, it reflects the deviation of the gas turbine unit from the ideal state and the operating status of the unit. If the performance index remains stable for a period of time, it indicates that the unit is operating stably. If a sudden change occurs, it indicates that a fault has occurred in the unit, and an alarm is issued; (b) When different faults occur in the gas turbine, such as compressor fouling, excessive pressure loss in the intake duct, increased blade tip clearance, and reduced turbine efficiency, the degree of impact on each performance index is also different. Therefore, different faults of the unit can be characterized by setting different combinations of performance index thresholds, thereby realizing early warning of unit faults.
[0099] This invention also provides a gas turbine unit monitoring system based on a surrogate model, including an operation data acquisition device and a monitoring and processing module. The operation data acquisition device collects operation parameter data of the gas turbine unit, which mainly includes the actual power of the gas turbine PW, ambient temperature T, ambient pressure P, compressor inlet guide vane opening IGV, ambient relative humidity Phi, natural gas LHV, and natural gas flow rate m. f Compressor inlet temperature T cin Compressor inlet pressure P cin Compressor outlet temperature T cout Compressor outlet pressure P cout The collected operational data is transmitted to the monitoring and processing module. This module has storage and execution functions. The gas turbine monitoring computer program includes the monitoring model established using the aforementioned gas turbine unit monitoring method. When executed, the program calculates the performance index X corresponding to each monitoring performance parameter based on the operational parameter data collected by the data acquisition device. index .
[0100] The gas turbine unit monitoring method and system of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:
[0101] A novel monitoring method is proposed, featuring convenient and rapid model calculations that eliminate the need for repeated iterations, exhibit easy convergence, and high accuracy. On one hand, it can monitor deviations from benchmark values in real time by calculating four key performance indices—gas turbine power, gas turbine efficiency, compressor pressure ratio, and compressor isentropic efficiency—reflecting the unit's operational status. On the other hand, different gas turbine faults have varying impacts on these performance indices; different threshold combinations can be set to provide early warnings of unit faults, offering reference suggestions for power plant operators. This gas turbine unit monitoring method can be based on the power plant's existing control system, eliminating the need for additional monitoring software and saving costs.
