Bd. Gemmell et al., A CONSULTATIVE EXPERT-SYSTEM FOR FAULT-DIAGNOSIS OF TURBINE-GENERATORPLANT, Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part A, Journal of power and energy, 208(A4), 1994, pp. 257-266
Turbine specialists have extensive experience in the analysis and inte
rpretation of turbine-generator operational plant data and in the diag
nosis of fault conditions. Expert system technology makes it possible
for such expertise, elicited from specialists, to be structured in a '
knowledge base'. This paper will discuss the application of specialist
knowledge to the analysis of turbine-generator plant data to aid turb
ine staff of optimize plant performance, thus demonstrating to users t
he operation and potential benefits of a consultative expert system.
