20. An operations support system for an engine, comprising:
-
an engine prediction unit configured to receive an engine rating condition and scalars associated with the engine, and to generate condition indicators based on the engine rating condition and the scalars, the engine prediction unit using an engine-specific, thermodynamic model based on component maps of the engine to generate the condition indicators, at least a portion of the scalars representing erosion within the engine; a power assurance algorithm unit coupled to the engine prediction unit and configured to generate health indicators based on the condition indicators, the health indicators including a power assurance number; a scalar conditioning unit coupled to the engine prediction unit, and configured to monitor scalar changes and to provide conditioned scalars to the engine prediction unit; and a graphical user interface coupled to the fault classification unit and configured to display the health indicators.
