Abstract
A method for monitoring and diagnosing the combustion dynamics of a gas turbine engine system includes mounting at least one sensor on an external surface of at least one combustor can, receiving a signal from the sensor mounted to the combustor can, validating an accuracy of the signal from the sensors, determining the combustion dynamics of the can based on the received signals, and generating an indication when a combustion dynamic threshold has been exceeded.
