A system and method for tuning a turbine comprises a turbine controller
coupled to the turbine, a first computer system coupled to the turbine
controller and located locally to the turbine, and a second computer
system for exchanging data with the first computer system. The second
computer system is located remotely from the turbine and exchanges data
with the first computer system via a network connection such as the
internet, an intranet or a virtual private network (VPN). Data relating to
a characteristic such as turbine combustion dynamics and/or emissions is
transmitted by the first computer system to the second computer system.
The second computer system transmits control data over the network
connection to the first computer to tune the turbine.
