Development of intelligent early warning system for steam turbine

Fault detection and diagnosis is a critical element in the power generation sector. Early faults detection ensures that correct mitigation measures can be taken, whilst false alarms should be eschewed to avoid unnecessary cost of operation, interruption and downtime. Modern power plant is equipped w...
