Improving the technical, economic, and environmental performance of the power plant is the most important direction for improving the characteristics of the ship’s propulsive complex. This issue can be solved most effectively by improving the design, repair, and maintenance of the fuel supply system, which significantly affects the quality of the fuel equipment and determines the working process of the steam boiler. Performance indicators of fuel equipment are determined not only by the stability of its design and adjustment parameters and parameters of the fuel supply process, but also by the physical and chemical composition of the fuel.
Special mathematical models are described for predicting plant failures on the basis of multivariate statistical analysis of operational information by using factor analysis. The considered process of assessing changes in the technical state of a gas turbine engine in operation on the basis of factor analysis can be applied to various energy facilities for which the parameters of the working process are periodically recorded.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
