Systems and methods for estimating a base load in a combined cycle power plant with a steam turbine clutch (160) are provided. According to one embodiment of the disclosure, a system (100) may include a controller (700) and a processor (750) communicatively coupled to the controller (700). The processor (750) may be configured to receive operating parameters associated with a combined cycle power plant. The combined cycle power plant may comprise a gas turbine (110) permanently coupled to a generator (130) and a steam turbine (120) selectively coupled to the generator (130) via a clutch (160). The processor (750) may be further configured to receive an engagement status associated with the clutch (160) and receive first data and second data. Based on the engagement status, the processor (750) may select the first data or the second data and use that to estimate a base load. The base load estimation may be calibrated based on the operating parameters.

The method of adjusting a reference value of at least one parameter that influences the thrust of a gas turbine engine powering an aircraft during a phase of flight of this aircraft comprises: — a step (E20) of obtaining a current value of at least one operating variable (T2, Pamb) of the engine; — a step (E50) of extracting from a preestablished table (T) a decrement value (ΔXN2,ΔPRS2) for said at least one parameter associated with the current value of said at least one engine operating variable; and — a step (E60) of adjusting the reference value of said at least one parameter by applying to it the decrement value taken from the table.
摘要:
A compressor surge avoidance control system and method for a gas turbine engine includes sensing a plurality of engine inlet parameters, and receiving a fuel command value. The sensed parameters are processed to determine a surge fuel value that is representative of a fuel flow above which, for the sensed engine inlet parameters, a compressor surge will likely occur. The surge fuel value and the fuel command value are compared, and a protective action signal is generated if the fuel command value exceeds the surge fuel value.

This invention concerns a method of delivering fuel to an aircraft engine 60, which involves providing a plurality of distinct fuel sources 20, 22, a first fuel source 20 comprising a first fuel having a first aromatic content and a second fuel source 22 comprising a second fuel having a second aromatic content. One or more ambient atmospheric condition is determined for at least a portion of a flight path of the aircraft, said condition being indicative of a likelihood of contrail 135 formation by the engine 60. A desirous fuel composition for combustion by the engine is determined based upon the one or more ambient atmospheric condition and a ratio of the first and second fuels from said respective fuel sources is selected according to said desirous fuel composition. The selected ratio of the first and second fuels is delivered to the aircraft engine 60.

摘要:
A system is provided for cross engine coordination during gas turbine engine motoring. The system includes a first gas turbine engine (10A) of a first engine system (100A), a first air turbine starter (120A) of the first engine system (100A), a first starter air valve (116A) of the first engine system (100A), and a controller (102A). The controller (102A) is operable to command the first starter air valve (116A) to control delivery of compressed air to the first air turbine starter (120A) during motoring of the first gas turbine engine (10A), monitor cross engine data of a second gas turbine engine (10B) of a second engine system (100B) to detect a present condition or a commanded action that modifies an aspect of the compressed air received at the first starter air valve (116A), and command an adjustment to the first engine system (100A) to compensate for the modified aspect of the compressed air based on the cross engine data.

An engine strut (100) for providing fan hub frame structural support and monitoring an air flow (116) within an aircraft engine (100) includes an airfoil (120) coupled to the aircraft engine (100) and has a first portion (122) and a second portion (124). The first portion (122) is positioned upstream of the second portion (124) with respect to the air flow. A shield (126) is coupled to the engine (100) and positioned between the first portion (122) and the second portion (124). The shield (126) includes a first side (128) spaced from the first portion (122) and defining a first flow path (164) with the first portion (122). The shield further (126) includes a second side (130) spaced from the second portion (124) and defining a second flow path (169) with the second portion (124). At least one sensor (182) is coupled to the aircraft engine (100) and positioned in flow communication with the second flow path (169).
