The ESPRIT project 6862 TIGER addresses the development of a real-time knowledge based
diagnosis system for two gas turbines: a large scale industrial gas turbine and an auxiliary
power unit for aviation. The project will combine the qualitative model based with the rule
based diagnosis approach.
This paper describes the rule based approach taken in the development of a real-time diagnostic
system for a large scale gas turbine. Deep models will be automatically extracted from the
deterministic knowledge embedded within the controller ladder logic diagrams. Heuristic
knowledge will be extracted from the domain expert and engineering manuals.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
