Claim One:
1. A system for detecting an anomaly in a combustion section of a gas turbine, the system comprising: a plurality of combustors associated with a combustion section; a plurality of thermal sensors disposed at an exhaust section of a gas turbine, wherein the thermal sensors are configured to provide exhaust profile data of the gas turbine; a processing circuit communicatively coupled to a memory, the memory storing instructions which when executed by the processing circuit perform operations comprising: receiving, from the plurality of thermal sensors, the exhaust profile data of the gas turbine; analyzing the exhaust profile data to calculate statistical features associated with a peak-trough pattern; determining, using an algorithm or model, that the statistical features are abnormal; and in response to the determination, continuing processing of the exhaust profile data for a predetermined period of time; and reporting an anomaly in the combustion section of the gas turbine when the statistical features remain abnormal for the predetermined period of time.
