System and method to enhance corrosion turbine monitoring

A method, comprising:

• accessing, via a processor, one or more operating parameters of a gas turbine;
• receiving, via the processor, environmental data related to a weather forecast for a location associated with the gas turbine, wherein the weather forecast comprises an indication of a first level of sulfur dioxide (SO2), a second level of sulfate aerosols, a third level of sea salt aerosols, a fourth level of atmospheric particulate matter with a diameter less than 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5), or any combination thereof;
• determining, via the processor, one or more performance characteristics of the gas turbine based on a thermodynamic model associated with the gas turbine, the one or more operating parameters, the environmental data, and a set of measured parameters, wherein the set of measured parameters comprise discharge temperature of a compressor of the gas turbine, a discharge pressure of the compressor, an exhaust temperature of the gas turbine, a fuel flow of the gas turbine, a power output of the gas turbine, or any combination thereof;
• predicting, via the processor, a rate of degradation to one or more parts of the compressor of the gas turbine due to one or more effects on the one or more parts by operating the gas turbine according to the one or more operating parameters;
• and
• sending, via the processor, a signal to an electronic device indicating an alert based at least in part on the rate of degradation of the one or more parts of the compressor.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions configured to be executed by a processor of a monitoring system, wherein the instructions comprise instructions configured to cause the processor to:

• access one or more operating parameters of a gas turbine;
• receive environmental data related to a weather forecast for a location associated with the gas turbine, wherein the weather forecast comprises at least two of a first level of sulfur dioxide (SO2), a second level of sulfate aerosols, a third level of sea salt aerosols, or a fourth level of atmospheric particulate matter with a diameter less than 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5);
• determine one or more performance characteristics of the gas turbine based on a thermodynamic model associated with the gas turbine, the one or more operating parameters, the environmental data, and a set of measured parameters, wherein the set of measured parameters comprise discharge temperature of a compressor of the gas turbine, a discharge pressure of the compressor, an exhaust temperature of the gas turbine, a fuel flow of the gas turbine, a power output of the gas turbine, or any combination thereof;
• predict a rate of degradation to one or more parts of the compressor of the gas turbine due to one or more effects on the one or more parts by operating the gas turbine according to the one or more operating parameters;
• and
• send a signal to an electronic device indicating an alert based at least in part on the rate of degradation of the one or more parts of the compressor.
