    Abstract: A method for predicting an anomaly in a combustor (16) is presented. The method includes receiving signals representative of parameters in one or more combustion cans (22, 24) of the combustor, generating a plurality of patterns based on a permutation entropy window and the signals, identifying a plurality of pattern categories in the plurality of patterns, determining a permutation entropy based on the plurality of patterns and the plurality of pattern categories, and predicting an anomaly in the combustor based on the permutation entropy. The method further includes comparing the plurality of pattern categories to determined permutations of pattern categories if the anomaly is present in the combustor, and predicting a category of the anomaly based on the comparison of the plurality of pattern categories to the determined permutations of pattern categories.

    Abstract: Presented herein are turbine machines, turbine control systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for controlling turbines including a compressor, a combustion system, and a turbine section comprising a turbine operating at an initial turbine output while using initial parameter values for the respective control parameters of the turbine. The techniques involve, for respective selected control parameters, selecting an adjustment of the initial parameter value of the selected control parameter, and predicting a predicted turbine output of the turbine operated using the adjustment of the selected control parameter and the initial parameter values for other control parameters; comparing the predicted turbine outputs for the adjustments of the respective control parameters to select, from the control parameters, a target control parameter having a target adjustment that results in the target turbine output; and operating the turbine with the target adjustment of the target control parameter.

    Abstract: A method for determining fuel splits may generally include monitoring an airflow-related parameter of a gas turbine and determining first and second reference values for the airflow-related parameter based on a combustion reference temperature. The first reference value may be associated with a first load path of the gas turbine and the second reference value may be associated with a second load path of the gas turbine. The method may also include determining first and second fuel split commands based on the combustion reference temperature. In addition, the method may include determining a fuel split value to be applied in association with a monitored value of the airflow-related parameter based at least in part on the reference values and the fuel split commands and applying the fuel split value to regulate an amount of fuel supplied to one or more fuel circuits of the gas turbine.

    Abstract: A method and system for transferring between combustion modes in a gas turbine engine is provided. A processor generates data representative of an initial set of splits for providing at least one of fuel and air to at least one combustor in the gas turbine engine. A gas turbine engine model module generates data representative of at least one engine operating condition. A first split calculation module generates data representative of at least one set of active control splits to control the engine in a first combustion mode, using as an input the initial split data. A second split calculation module generates data representative of at least one set of passive control splits to control the engine in at least a second combustion mode. Transfer between combustion modes may be accomplished via use of at least one of the active control splits and the passive control splits.
