Abstract
Compressors are one of the three major components of gas turbines, and their characteristic curves are used to analyze off-design performance. How to infer the characteristic curve based on different data is an important research topic. In this paper, PG9351FA gas turbine is taken as the research object. Two methods, artificial neural network and parameter estimation, are used to predict its characteristic curve, and the prediction accuracy and application conditions of the two methods are discussed. This article compares the two methods from the perspectives of known speed characteristic curve regression and unknown speed characteristic curve inference, analyzes the impact of sample size and sample error on their inference results, and quantitatively analyzes the error through statistical methods such as calculating the mean square deviation of the data. The application scope and conditions of different methods are provided. The research results show that the method based on neural network to infer the characteristic curve has high accuracy and is suitable for the prediction of known and unknown speed characteristic curves under sufficient data, but not for the prediction of unknown side curves. The elliptic equation fitting method based on parameter estimation has a slightly lower accuracy in processing the nearly vertical compressor characteristic curve, but it can be used as an effective and reliable method to infer the compressor characteristic curve in the case of a small amount of data. The modulization method based on parameter estimation has high accuracy and is applicable to the estimation of complete characteristic curve from partial data of known characteristic curve. In this paper, the application scope and conditions of these two methods are determined, which can provide reference for engineering practice.
