Transient fault detection system and method using Hidden Markov Models
First Claim
1. A transient fault detection system for detecting transient faults in a turbine engine, the transient fault detection system comprising:
- a Hidden Markov Model detector, the Hidden Markov Model receiving turbine sensor data from the turbine engine during a transient condition and analyzing the sensor data to determine a likelihood that a fault occurred during the transient condition.

Abstract
A transient fault detection system and method is provided that facilitates improved fault detection performance in transient conditions. The transient fault detection system provides the ability to detect symptoms of engine faults that occur in transient conditions. The transient fault detection system includes a Hidden Markov Model detector that receives sensor data during transient conditions and determines if a fault has occurred during the transient conditions. Detected faults can then be passed to a diagnostic, system where they can be passed as appropriate to maintenance personnel.
