Bayesian Blade Tip Timing
Overview of innovation
This invention relates to a system that continuously measures and monitors the dynamic behaviour of turbomachine blades in order to provide early warning of incipient blade failure. This would enable management to take corrective action in order to prevent failure and downtime. The system can be used in several industrial applications of turbomachines, such as steam turbines and large draft fans
