Tabular Machine Learning Methods for Predicting Gas Turbine Emissions [PDF]
Predicting emissions for gas turbines is critical for monitoring harmful pollutants being released into the atmosphere. In this study, we evaluate the performance of machine learning models for predicting emissions for gas turbines. We compare an existing predictive emissions model, a first principles-based Chemical Kinetics model, against two machine ...

A Thermodynamic based and Data Driven Hybrid Network for Gas Turbine Modeling [PDF]
The on-wing engine performance is difficult to track for thermodynamic models because of its inaccurate component maps, and also difficult for data driven methods for their over-fitting to measurement errors. So, we propose a thermodynamic based and data driven hybrid network for gas turbine modeling.
