Abstract: A system includes an annular track that surrounds the turbomachine. The annular track includes an upper rail portion and a lower rail portion removably coupled to one another. The system further includes a drive assembly operably coupled to the annular track. The drive assembly includes a drive chain that extends along the annular track. The system further includes a plurality of carts rotatably coupled to the annular track and connected to the drive chain such that operation of the drive assembly alters a circumferential position of the plurality of carts with respect to an axial centerline of the turbomachine. The system further includes a plurality of combustion can cradle assemblies each coupled to a respective cart of the plurality of carts. Each combustion can cradle assembly of the plurality of combustion can cradle assemblies is configured to removably couple to a combustion can of the one or more combustion cans.

Abstract: A gas turbine system includes a compressor protection subsystem; a hibernation mode subsystem; and a control subsystem that controls the compressor subsystem and the hibernation subsystem. At partial loads on the turbine system, the compressor protection subsystem maintains an air flow through a compressor at an airflow coefficient for the partial load above a minimum flow rate coefficient where aeromechanical stresses occur in the compressor. The air fuel ratio in a combustor is maintained where exhaust gas emission components from the turbine are maintained below a predetermined component emission level while operating at partial loads.

Abstract: A system for controlling gas turbine output for a gas turbine power plant is disclosed herein. The power plant includes a gas turbine including a combustor downstream from a compressor, a turbine downstream from the combustor and an exhaust duct downstream from the outlet of the turbine. The exhaust duct receives exhaust gas from the turbine outlet. The system further includes an exhaust damper operably connected to a downstream end of the exhaust duct. The exhaust damper increases backpressure at the turbine outlet and restricts axial exit velocity of the exhaust gas exiting the turbine outlet when the exhaust damper is partially closed. A method for controlling gas turbine output is also provided herein.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and storage medium for storing code related to controlling turbine shroud clearance for operational protection. The disclosure includes a multi-stage turbine and a protection system. The multi-stage turbine includes a stage of airfoils with a distal shroud, a casing adjacent the distal shroud and defining a clearance distance between the distal shroud and the casing, and a clearance control mechanism that controllably adjusts the clearance distance based upon receiving a clearance control signal. The protection system has an operational limit value related to a failure mode and provides the clearance control signal to the clearance control mechanism. The protection system receives operational data related to the multi-stage turbine and modifies the clearance control signal based on the operational limit value to increase the clearance distance.
