This thesis demonstrates the successful development of a software sensor for Siemens Energy’s SGT-700 gas turbines using machine learning algorithms. Our goal was to enhance the robustness of measurements and redundancies, enabling early detection of sensor or turbine malfunctions and contributing to predictive maintenance methodologies. The research is based on a real-world case study, implementing the Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP DM) methodology in an industrial setting. The thesis details the process from dataset preparation and data exploration to algorithm development and evaluation, providing a comprehensive view of the development process. This work is a step towards integrating machine learning into gas turbine systems.
