    摘要: Gas turbine inlet guide vane ice detection and control systems and methods that utilize active infra-red monitoring of inlet guide vanes, detection of ice formation on the guide vanes and elimination of the ice by altering properties of the gas turbine inlet intake airflow, such as by introducing compressed and/or heated air bled from the turbine. Ice has lower detectable emissivity intensity in the infra-red spectrum than ice-free inlet guide vane surfaces. Ice formation is inhibited by direct monitoring of inlet guide vane icing conditions, rather than by indirect empirical assumptions of ice formation based on atmospheric condition monitoring. Direct monitoring mitigates ice formation in real time without reliance on excessive use of gas turbine compressed or heated air bleed, which enhances turbine operational efficiency.

An example method of controlling a gas turbine engine may include varying an engine input parameter while operating the gas turbine engine to produce a desired output, including measuring a pre-adjustment value of an engine operating parameter with an engine input parameter at an initial value, adjusting the engine input parameter to a current adjusted value, and measuring a post-adjustment value of the engine operating parameter. The method may include determining a future adjusted value of the engine input parameter and iteratively repeating the varying the engine input parameter operation and the determining the future adjusted value of the engine input parameter operation. The method may be performed while operating the gas turbine engine to produce a desired output.
