Abstract:
A system includes a combustor assembly which receives a fuel-oxidant mixture. The system includes a control valve which controls a fuel flow into the combustor assembly. The system includes one or more sensors which measure one or more properties. The system includes a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors and the control valve. The controller receives data from the one or more sensors indicative of operating conditions of the combustor assembly. The controller determines a predicted fuel flow for a first fuel line of a plurality of fuel lines based in part on the data received from the one or more sensors. The controller calculates a difference between a commanded fuel flow and the predicted fuel flow. The controller adjusts an operation of the control valve associated with a gas turbine engine when the difference is greater than a threshold.
