    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to turbine engines and systems for active stability control of rotating compression systems utilizing an electric machine operatively coupled thereto. In one exemplary aspect, an electric machine operatively coupled with a compression system, e.g., via a shaft system, is controlled to provide shaft damping for instability fluctuations of the pressurized fluid stream within the compression system. Based on control data indicative of a system state of the compression system, a control parameter of the electric machine is adjusted to control or change an output of the shaft system. Adjusting the shaft system output by adjusting one or more control parameters of the electric machine allows the compression system to dampen instability fluctuations of the fluid stream within the compression system. A method for active stability control of a compression system operatively coupled with an electric machine via a shaft system is also provided.

    Abstract: A method for operating a gas turbine engine having a starter-electric generator driven by one of a plurality of shafts of the gas turbine engine is provided. The method includes determining a desired amount of thrust to be produced by the gas turbine engine, as well as a desired amount of electrical power to be generated by the starter-electric generator of the gas turbine engine. The method operates the gas turbine engine to produce the desired amount of thrust, while producing less than the desired amount of electrical power using the starter-electric generator. Producing less than the desired amount of electrical power using the starter-electric generator allows for the desired amount of thrust production, or allows for the desired amount of thrust production more quickly.

    Abstract: A method for operating a gas turbine engine having a starter-electric generator driven by one of a plurality of shafts of the gas turbine engine is provided. The method includes determining a desired amount of thrust to be produced by the gas turbine engine, as well as a desired amount of electrical power to be drawn from the starter-electric generator of the gas turbine engine. The method operates the gas turbine engine to produce the desired amount of thrust, while drawing less than the desired amount of electrical power from the starter-electric generator. Drawing less than the desired amount of electrical power from the starter-electric generator allows for the desired amount of thrust production, allows for the desired amount of thrust production more quickly, or allows for maintenance of a stall margin for any purpose (such as to increase an efficiency of the engine or to allow for certain engine designs).
