At present, there are two main ideas for establishing a gas turbine performance prediction model: one is that the mechanism model is mainly based on the thermodynamic relationship of the physical system. Due to the performance degradation of the gas turbine and the personalized characteristics of the component characteristic curve, the simulation accuracy of the mechanism model is difficult to meet the accuracy requirements of the digital twin model; the second is the data model, which predicts the performance of the gas turbine based on historical data and artificial intelligence algorithms. The data model is mainly affected by the quality and quantity of historical data, and the output result may have the problem of overfitting.
