Claim 0:
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium with instructions stored thereon, the instructions executable by one or more processors for:
selecting infrequent or frequent autotuning of a combustor having a combustion dynamics monitoring (CDM) algorithm having the capability to detect combustion system fault precursors, wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium is configured to be switchable between infrequent or frequent autotuning of the combustor; and
determining the health of the combustor, wherein said determining the health of the combustor comprises receiving real-time fuel gas temperature data from at least one thermocouple, wherein said determining the health of the combustor comprises comparing the real-time combustor fuel split data and fuel gas temperature data with data in a reference database.
