Propulsion diagnostic method evaluation strategy (ProDiMES) offers an aircraft engine diagnostic benchmark problem where the performance of candidate diagnostic methods is evaluated while a fair comparison can be established. In the present paper, the performance evaluation of a number of gas turbine diagnostic methods using the ProDiMES software is presented. All diagnostic methods presented here were developed at the Laboratory of Thermal Turbomachinery of the National Technical University of Athens (LTT/NTUA). Component, sensor, and actuator fault scenarios that occur in a fleet of deteriorated twin-spool turbofan engines are considered. The performance of each diagnostic method is presented through the evaluation metrics introduced in the ProDiMES software. Remarks about each methods performance as well as the detectability and classification rates of each fault scenario are made.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
