Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system is provided that includes a memory storing a turbomachinery degradation model configured to model degradation of a turbomachinery over time. The system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to control the turbomachinery based on a feedback signal and the turbomachinery degradation model. Moreover, the turbomachinery degradation model is configured to use a target power to derive a control parameter by estimating a modeled power of the turbomachinery, and the controller is configured to use the control parameter to control the turbomachinery.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a memory storing a turbomachinery degradation model configured to model degradation of a turbomachinery over time; and a controller communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to control the turbomachinery based on a feedback signal and the turbomachinery degradation model, wherein the turbomachinery degradation model comprises a physics-based model that simulates physics of the turbomachinery and is configured to predi…
