Blade faults and blade failures are ranked among the most frequent causes of failures in turbomachinery. This paper provides a review on the condition monitoring techniques and the most suitable signal analysis methods to detect and diagnose the health condition of blades in turbomachinery. In this paper, blade faults are categorised into five types in accordance with their nature and characteristics, namely, blade rubbing, blade fatigue failure, blade deformations (twisting, creeping, corrosion, and erosion), blade fouling, and loose blade. Reviews on characteristics and the specific diagnostic methods to detect each type of blade faults are also presented. This paper also aims to provide a reference in selecting the most suitable approaches to monitor the health condition of blades in turbomachinery.

Industry has been implementing condition monitoring for turbines to minimize losses and to improve productivity. Deficient conditions can be identified before losses occur by monitoring the equipment parameters. For any loss scenario, the effectiveness of monitoring depends on the stage of the loss scenario when the deficient condition is detected. A scenario-based semi-empirical methodology was developed to assess various types of condition monitoring techniques, by considering their effect on the risk associated with mechanical breakdown of steam turbines in the forest products (FP) industry. A list of typical turbine loss scenarios was first generated by reviewing loss data and leveraging expert domain knowledge. Subsequently, condition monitoring techniques that can mitigate the risk associated with each loss scenario were identified. For each loss scenario, an event tree analysis was used to quantitatively assess the variations in the outcomes due to condition monitoring, and resultant changes in the risk associated with turbine mechanical breakdown. An application was developed following the methodology to evaluate the effect of condition monitoring on turbine risk mitigation.
