Knowledge based management system for rotating equipment diagnostics is a expert system to help the maintenance engineers in the power plants or gas plants using gas turbines for power generation. Industrial gas turbine (Rolls - Royce Allison 510 - KB7) is used as the emphasis of the project to develop the application. Case based Reasoning and Spiral Life Cycle model are used as the methodology in this project for the methods can support and fulfil the objectives of the project. Microsoft Access and Java runtime are used for the database set up and system development respectively. The final system offers eight different scenarios for gas turbine diagnostics. Reference tables and Scenario note function The system is effective and less time consuming, platform( operating system) independent, easy to use and should be helpful for the maintenance engineers. Diagnostics for the auxiliary system of the gas turbine should be incorporated in the system to have a more complete system. MySQL database system should be used in the future development if the database is to expand.
