Abstract:
In one embodiment, a turbine system includes an intake section including a filter house, the filter house including at least one filtration stage, each of the at least one filtration stage, including a filter. The turbine system also includes one or more sensors disposed in the intake section, and a processor configured to receive performance data related to testing conditions of the intake section, sensor data from the one or more sensors, local conditions data, or some combination thereof, predict a filter degradation rate for the filter using a filter degradation prediction model that provides a function of performance of the filter based on the performance data, the sensor data, the local conditions data, or some combination thereof, and perform one or more preventative actions based on the filter degradation rate prediction.
