Abstract

DOOSAN has been developed large gas turbine since 2014 as a national project in Korea. Recent researches showed that one of major risk item in gas turbine development is compressor rotor blade failure. There are several events of compressor rotor blade failure which have occurred over the last few years, in some cases causing catastrophic damage to the entire compressor. In response to these issues, DOOSAN started to develop compressor monitoring system to prevent failures and diagnose blades to assess the structural integrity of each blades. This paper presents the ideas and plans how DOOSAN will develop the system with latest sensors. Additionally, validation methods will be presented using sub-scaled test rig in 2018 and real scale engine test in 2019, respectively.
