Enhancing the performance of gas turbine requires the bringing together and optimization of the disciplines and expertise required to acquire an operationally competitive gas turbine engine. This study comprises comparative research between simulated and actual reliability of the gas path of a turbine engine. An innovative idea was introduced to reduce the gap between diagnostics processes via simulation and actual maintenance condition of the engine. The possible sources of errors were investigated by generating real error distribution. This research study explores the comparative investigation conducted to evaluate the reliability of a turbine gas path through simulating varying scenarios and analyzing real-life performance data. The application of simulation tools is to enable the replication of operating conditions and accurately model the gas turbine components, providing insights into potential weaknesses and strength. Real-life performance data provides important information about actual system behavior, including the frequency and nature of failures. Comparative investigations allow for validation of simulation accuracy, refinement of models, and identification of discrepancies. The findings from these investigations contribute to the optimization of gas turbine reliability, leading to efficient, cost effective power generation systems.
