摘要: A power management system for a multi engine rotorcraft having a main rotor system with a main rotor speed. The power management system includes a first engine that provides a first power input to the main rotor system. A second engine selectively provides a second power input to the main rotor system. The second engine has at least a zero power input state and a positive power input state. A power anticipation system is configured to provide the first engine with a power adjustment signal in anticipation of a power input state change of the second engine during flight. The power adjustment signal causes the first engine to adjust the first power input to maintain the main rotor speed within a predetermined rotor speed threshold range during the power input state change of the second engine.

摘要: Systems and methods for predicting engine performance are provided herein. A fluid sample having particles suspended therein is received from a first engine. A plurality of particles are extracted from the fluid sample. Features of the plurality of particles extracted from the fluid sample and features of particles of reference fluid samples from a plurality of reference engines are obtained. A plurality of correlation indices indicative of a level of correlation between the first engine and each one of the plurality of reference engines is determined. The correlation indices are compared to a threshold to determine a subset of the plurality of reference engines. Performance history for the engines in the subset is obtained. From the performance history, the first engine is determined as having a similarity in performance with the engines in the subset. An output is generated indicating a predicted performance for the first engine.

摘要: A method includes obtaining a steady state model that models a process controlled by a controller of a gas turbine. The steady state model estimates at least one output of the process based on at least one input. The method includes creating a transient model by perturbing at least one input of the steady state model to estimate the at least one output, the at least one output comprising transient characteristics of the gas turbine. The method includes adjusting a gain of the controller continuously, at predetermined intervals, or based on a requirement trigger, or any combination thereof, based on the transient model. The gain defines a response to a difference between a reference signal and a feedback signal of the controller of the gas turbine. The method includes sending the adjusted gain to the controller. The controller controls the process based on the adjusted gain.

摘要: A system and a method for predicting and optimizing remaining hardware life of gas turbine components. Operating parameters of the gas turbine which may impact remaining hardware life are sensed and tracked using a plurality of sensors in communication with a control system including a computing device. Remaining hardware life is predicted using a physics-based hardware lifing model. The hardware lifing model may include an output of a filtration model configured to monitor contaminants based on a pressure drop across a filter. Optimizing the remaining hardware life is achieved by the control system adjusting one or more operation settings of the gas turbine.
