In modern gas turbine health monitoring systems, the diagnostic algorithms based on gas path analysis may be considered as principal. They analyze gas path measured variables and are capable of identifying different faults and degradation mechanisms of gas turbine components (e.g. compressor, turbine, and combustor) as well as malfunctions of the measurement system itself. Gas path mathematical models are widely used in building fault classification required for diagnostics because faults rarely occur during field operation. In that case, model errors are transmitted to the model-based classification, which poses the problem of rendering the description of some classes more accurate using real data. This paper looks into the possibility of creating a mixed fault classification that incorporates both model-based and data-driven fault classes. Such a classification will combine a profound common diagnosis with a higher diagnostic accuracy for the data-driven classes. A gas turbine power plant for natural gas pumping has been chosen as a test case. Its real data with cycles of compressor fouling were used to form a data-driven class of the fouling. Preliminary qualitative analysis showed that these data allow creating a representative class of the fouling and that this class will be compatible with simulated fault classes. A diagnostic algorithm was created based on the proposed classification (real class of compressor fouling and simulated fault classes for other components) and artificial neural networks. The algorithm was subjected to statistical testing. As a result, probabilities of a correct diagnosis were determined. Different variations of the classification were considered and compared using these probabilities as criteria. The performed analysis has revealed no limitations for realizing a principle of the mixed classification in real monitoring systems.
