Abstract
In one embodiment, a turbine system includes a compressor, an intake section including a filter house and an inlet duct. The intake section is coupled to the compressor, and the filter house is upstream from the inlet duct. The turbine system also includes one or more sensors disposed in the intake section, and a processor configured to receive sensor data from the one or more sensors, one or more filter degradation rates for one or more filtration stages of the filter house, or some combination thereof, predict a compressor degradation rate for the compressor using a compressor degradation prediction model that provides a function of performance of the compressor based on the sensor data, the one or more filter degradation rates, or some combination thereof, and perform one or more preventative actions based on the compressor degradation rate prediction.
