    摘要: Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method that includes receiving training data indicative of incipient compressor surge for cabin air compressors. The method further includes generating, using the training data, a training spectrogram. The method further includes training, by a processing system, a machine learning model to detect incipient compressor surge events for the cabin air compressors using the spectrogram. The method further includes receiving, at a microcontroller associated with a cabin air compressor, operating data associated with the cabin air compressor. The method further includes generating, at the microcontroller and using the operating data, an operating spectrogram. The method further includes detecting, by the microcontroller associated with the cabin air compressor, an incipient compressor surge event by applying the machine learning model to the operating spectrogram. The method further includes implementing a corrective action to correct the incipient compressor surge event.

    摘要: A method for fault identification for a gas turbine engine includes receiving sensor data from at least one health monitoring sensor of a health monitoring system for a gas turbine engine; utilizing a pre-filter to filter the sensor data and obtain filtered data based on a plurality of signatures of fault conditions of the health monitoring system and the gas turbine engine; utilizing at least one transfer function to extract features from the filtered sensor data based on the plurality of signatures; utilizing a machine learning technique to analyze the extracted features, and determine whether any of the extracted features are indicative of a fault condition in the health monitoring system or the gas turbine engine; and based on the analysis indicating the presence of a fault condition, providing a fault detection notification. A health monitoring system for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

    摘要: A power generation system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the power generation system includes a fuel source to provide fuel, a turbogenerator, coupled to the fuel source, to generate AC power, and a power controller electrically coupled to the turbogenerator. The power controller includes a first power converter to convert the AC power to DC power on a DC bus, and a second power converter to convert the DC power on the DC bus to an output power to supply a load. The power controller to regulate the fuel to the turbogenerator, independent of a DC voltage on the DC bus. A capacitor, such as an electrochemical capacitor or a hybrid capacitor, is coupled to the DC bus to source instantaneous power to and sink instantaneous power from the DC bus, due to load changes, to stabilize the DC voltage on the DC bus.

    摘要: Systems and methods for adjusting blade tip clearance targets and utilizing the adjusted targets to optimize the clearances between the blade tips and surrounding shrouds of a turbine engine are provided. In one exemplary aspect, one or more engine controllers utilize a machine-learned model to customize blade tip clearance targets based on the way an engine has been uniquely operated in the past for a particular flight mission. Present flight data associated with a present flight of a given flight mission is obtained. A model blade tip clearance target is adjusted based at least in part on the machine-learned model and the present flight data. The machine-learned model is trained at least in part on past flight data indicative of the manner in which the turbine engine has been operated for one or more past flights of the flight mission. An adjusted blade tip clearance target is then generated.

    摘要: A method for a computer-aided control of a technical system is provided. The method involves use of a cooperative learning method and artificial neural networks. In this context, feed-forward networks are linked to one another such that the architecture as a whole meets an optimality criterion. The network approximates the rewards observed to the expected rewards as an appraiser. In this way, exclusively observations which have actually been made are used in optimum fashion to determine a quality function. In the network, the optimum action in respect of the quality function is modeled by a neural network, the neural network supplying the optimum action selection rule for the given control problem. The method is specifically used to control a gas turbine.
