This paper describes a program that groups gas turbines from one or more sites for the purpose of efficient monitoring and performance evaluation. Cost-improved gas turbine and power plant operation is achieved by a new, unified-yet-flexible service approach which combines state-of-the-art microprocessor-based monitoring with routine and emergency evaluation by a core of highly skilled personnel many miles from the operating site. This unique approach delivers expertise which supplements the gas turbine owner’s in-house resources. It is based on a modular concept of condition health monitoring and performance evaluation, including scheduled as well as on-line services. Portable condition health monitoring equipment provides the capability for scheduled plant performance evaluation by service engineers without investment in additional equipment. On-line monitoring includes a PC-based software system and a computer link to the service engineer’s headquarters. Both scheduled and on-line monitoring services include trend evaluation, projected maintenance requirements, maintenance planning assistance and suggestions for performance enhancement.
