Claims6
A method for tracking an operating mode of a gas turbine comprising:
- a. monitoring at least one operating condition of the gas turbine;
- b. using the operating condition to categorize an operating mode of the gas turbine into one of the plurality of predetermined operating modes;
- c. assigning a value to the categorized operating mode where the value is a number that is a power of a predetermined base number;
- d. using the assigned value to select a normal range for an operational parameter for the gas turbine, and
- e. determining whether an actual operational parameter for the gas turbine is within said normal range.
