Abstract
A method for monitoring a status of a reduction gear of a gas turbine includes the steps of: obtaining measurements of parameters accomplished during an operating phase of the gas turbine, these parameters including temperatures of a lubricating oil of the reduction gear at the inlet and at the outlet of the reduction gear, a parameter representing a speed of the gas turbine, as well as at least one context parameter; selecting measurements; normalizing temperatures of the lubricating oil using the measurements of the context parameter; evaluating a thermal efficiency of the reduction gear by using a physical model defining the thermal efficiency based on a difference between the temperature of the lubricating oil; and determining a status of the reduction gear depending on a step of comparing the evaluated thermal efficiency with respect to a reference signature.
