Thanks for the feedback. I have been looking at using several variables to determine the start/stop/run mode of the turbine as well as if the unit is connected to the grid. If our data connection was more stable I could use fewer data points/tag names. I have a working prototype, just looking to see if any body else had tried something similar, and some performance or best practice tips. I have the Seeq office hour on my calendar, so I attempt to make one of thoses sessions.

Has anybody attempted to calculate equivalent or factored gas turbine starts and/or hours? Something similar to GE's GER3620RevP document on pages 35-36. Looking for tips or best practices as our company uses multiple fuel types and operating profiles. Our corporate-level operating data historian is not always the best, necessitating the use of multiple signals to determine a turbine start or stop.
