    Abstract: A system and method of detecting an uncontrolled high thrust (UHT) condition in a turbofan gas turbine engine includes processing data to determine when a current commanded fan speed value is greater than a predetermined speed value. A current UHT commanded fan speed value is processed to determine if it will cause a target fan speed value to increase, remain steady, or decrease. The target fan speed value is set equal to the current UHT commanded fan speed value when the current UHT commanded fan speed value will cause the target fan speed value to increase or remain steady, and to a deceleration threshold value when the current UHT commanded fan speed value will cause the target fan speed value to decrease. An uncontrolled high thrust alert signal is generated when actual engine fan speed exceeds the target fan speed value by a predetermined amount for a preset time period.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for controlling the start-up of a gas turbine engine having an exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor. A determination is made as to whether the EGT sensor is available or unavailable. The gas turbine engine is commanded to accelerate at a nominal acceleration rate during the start-up operation if the EGT sensor is available, and to accelerate at an off-nominal acceleration rate during the start-up operation if the EGT sensor is unavailable. The off-nominal acceleration rate is lower than the nominal acceleration rate.

    Abstract: In order to limit the flame temperature peaks following sudden load variations, corresponding control is planned of the position of the blades (13) of the distributor with variable geometry, of a single-shaft gas turbine (18); in particular, the control system proposed comprises a direct-action regulator (21) consisting of a calculation unit (22), which implements the simplified running model of the gas turbine (18), and a feedback regulator (20), which makes it possible to recuperate any inaccuracies of the direct-action regulator (21), caused by variations of the performance of the turbine (18), relative to those planned by the model, or caused by modelling errors.

    Abstract: A turbine controls testing device is disclosed that can be adapted to test the control systems of most turbine rotors without the use of steam. The turbine controls testing device comprises an operator control system, a drive motive power assembly and a purge gas assembly. The novel device controllably spins, accelerates, and decelerates a turbine with a relatively high level of precision, minimizing the likelihood that, in the event an overspeed mechanism malfunction occurs, the turbine will be damaged as a result of sonic velocity or any other mechanical failure.

    Abstract: Conventional auxiliary power units (APUs) may experience over-temperature shutdowns when attempting to start them at high altitudes. Further, such conventional APUs may also experience overspeed conditions when a generator load is removed during on-speed operations. A fuel control logic that controls the fuel flow cutback below the minimum blowout fuel schedule is provided. A temperature trim loop measures engine temperature to determine the onset of a possible over-temperature condition. The fuel flow may then be trimmed accordingly to correct this over-temperature onset. Further, when the onset of an overspeed condition is detected, such as when a generator load is removed, the fuel flow may be trimmed accordingly to correct this overspeed onset. The fuel control logic allows the control to find the individual minimum fuel flow for each fuel control without risking blowout of the APU itself.

    Abstract: A gas turbine control system is disclosed which operates to stabilize the system frequency in a case of transitional variations of the system frequency without making the strength of hot gas path parts of the gas turbine below a maximum stress value of the hot gas path parts. When a system frequency abnormality is detected, the output of the gas turbine is adjusted to recover the system frequency by making a gas turbine combustion gas temperature control inoperative. For this purpose, there are provided a logical circuit operative to make the gas turbine combustion gas temperature control disabled or inoperative in response to an abnormal system frequency detection signal, and a recovery circuit that operates to cancel the inoperative state of the gas turbine combustion gas temperature control. The detection of an abnormal system frequency may be carried out by an outside signal. An abnormality detection unit may be provided in a combined cycle plant.
