Abstract: Taking a 300 MW turbine as an example, in this paperthe calculation of turbine exhaust enthalpy based on the hybrid model of the principal component analysis and the BP neural network is established. The principal component analysis and the BP neural network are introduced at first. Then,the historical data are collected as the main parameters that affect the steam turbine exhaust enthalpy.The data pre-processing is applied to exclude the bad points. The four major components, with the cumulative contribution value greater than 99.95%, are identified. The calculation model of turbine exhaust enthalpy is established with the four identified components as the BP neural network input parameters and the steam turbine exhaust enthalpy as the output parameter. After being trained and tested, the calculation model of turbine exhaust enthalpy is obtained to facilitate the real-time online monitoring. The results show that the principal component analysis can help to determine the reasonable BP neural network input parameters and improve the accuracy and the speed of the training. The precision of the hybrid model meets the requirements of the project. The fluctuation of the exhaust steam enthalpy is not big in all working conditions.
