Abstract
A method and system () for monitoring a health of a combustion dynamics sensing system () includes monitoring respective dynamic conditions of at least two combustor cans () of a can annular combustor () of a gas turbine engine with respective dynamic condition sensors () associated with each of the cans. The method also includes establishing a baseline relationship between the respective dynamic conditions and then identifying a variance from the baseline relationship indicative of a degraded signal quality provided by a dynamic condition sensor associated with at least one of the cans.
