    Abstract: An energy generation system for generating energy to be supplied to a chip zapping unit of for example a gas turbine engine comprises an ignition system, e.g. that of the gas turbine engine, the ignition system having an energy output and configured to supply operational energy to the energy output, and the chip zapping unit having an energy input, the energy input coupled to the energy output of the ignition system to receive the operational energy therefrom. Such an energy generation system generates the operational energy needed for the chip zapping unit directly from the ignition system thus avoiding pulse generation circuitry inside an electronic control unit.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises an electronic control unit adapted to control functions of the gas turbine engine and having a DC power input unit coupled to receive DC supply power and an ignition igniter coupled thereto. The ignition exciter includes an AC power input unit adapted to receive AC power from an AC power source within the gas turbine engine, a power rectification unit coupled to receive the AC power from the AC power source and configured, upon receipt thereof, to rectify the AC power into DC power, and a DC power output unit coupled to receive the DC power from the power rectification unit and configured to supply the DC power to the DC power input unit of the electronic control unit as DC supply power and/or the ignition igniter.
