摘要:
A method is provided for evaluating stall/surge margin of a machine of interest. The method includes identifying a vital factor where each the vital factors corresponds to operation of the machine of interest. Raw data relating to the vital factor is provided. A contribution of the vital factor to the stall/surge margin is determined from at least the provided raw data. The contribution of the vital factor to the stall/surge margin is statistically analyzed. A stall/surge margin is allocated based on the statistical analysis of the contribution of the vital factor. An operating limit line is defined based on the allocation of the stall/surge margin.

A gas turbine operational strategy is provided for the optimization of ISO-Day rated performance. The invention is realized by setting the nominal operating line equal to or slightly below the operating limit line, so that ISO full load performance is maximized. Thus, the first stage turbine nozzle throat area is sized such that, without inlet bleed heat addition, and at Base-Load pressure ratio and firing temperature, the compressor operates within its operational limits on a ISO day. As ambient conditions change, levels of inlet bleed heat and firing temperature are controlled and the inlet guide vane angle is set whereby the nominal operating line is equal to or slightly below the operating limit line.

A method is disclosed for monitoring and controlling a compressor including (a) monitoring at least one compressor parameter; (b) storing data indicative of the monitored parameter in a database system; (c) processing the collected data using a stall precursor detection algorithm to determine a stall precursor; (d) comparing the stall precursor with at least one of a corresponding average compressor value, and a corresponding unit specific value to determine the level of compressor operability, and (e) if the stall precursor varies from at least one of the average compressor value and the unit specific value, performing corrective actions to vary the level of compressor operability to prevent a surge condition.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a turbomachine having a turbomachine blade and a stationary structural component. The turbomachine blade includes a tip shroud having a leading edge portion where the leading edge portion has a first surface. The stationary structural component is disposed about the turbomachine blade and includes a corresponding portion corresponding to the leading edge portion of the tip shroud, where the corresponding portion has a second surface, where the first surface and the second surface have generally parallel contours.

An exhaust diffuser for a turbine includes an inlet configured to receive exhaust gas from a last stage bucket of the turbine and an exhaust gas guide surface configured to guide the exhaust gas. A curvature of the guide surface comprises a first angle with respect to an axis of the turbine and a ratio of a guide surface axial length to the active length of the last stage bucket which is between about 0.45 to 0.70. A method of diffusing exhaust of a turbine includes energizing a boundary layer along a curved exhaust flow guide surface of an exhaust diffuser with over tip leakage of a last stage bucket of the turbine.

A turbomachine having clearance control capability is provided and includes a turbine stage including a blade configured to rotate around a centerline, a movable portion of a casing circumferentially surrounding the turbine stage and a rotatable cam operably coupled to the movable portion and thereby configured to control an axial position of the movable portion. A radially outermost tip of the blade and an interior surface of the movable portion are sloped with respect to the centerline such that the controlled axial position of the movable portion is determinative of a clearance between the blade and the movable portion.
