Abstract
A method and a calculation unit for calculating a load skewness result for a determination of service intervals for a turbine, includes: receiving a continuously measured load signal over time, indicating a load of the turbine during operation thereof; determining a load percentage signal over time as a deviation of the received measured load signal from a maximum capacity signal, wherein the maximum capacity signal represents a maximal possible load to be generated at a given time and is calculated from continuously measured sensor signals, representing operating parameters of turbine operation; calculating a load percentage distribution based on the determined load percentage signal; calculating a load skewness factor as a measure of an asymmetry of the calculated load percentage distribution; providing the load skewness result, including the calculated load percentage distribution and the calculated load skewness factor.
