Abstract
In one embodiment, a computing device includes one or more processors configured to execute instructions that cause the one or more processors to acquire pressure data measured by at least one pressure sensor disposed proximate to a filter house in an intake of a gas turbine engine system, derive an airflow or an air mass flow through a duct of the intake using a thermodynamic model of the gas turbine engine system based at least on the pressure data, derive an intake pressure drop in the duct using at least the pressure data, derive a loss parameter of the filter house by combining the air mass or air mass flow, and the intake pressure drop, derive a pressure loss model based on the loss parameter over a period of time, and determine a condition of the filter house based on the pressure loss model.
