Abstract: A device for monitoring a life condition of a spark igniter in a gas turbine ignition system. The device includes an evaluation circuit having circuit components that include a hold capacitor, a transistor, and an operational amplifier arranged to form a sample-and-hold circuit, wherein an igniter spark impulse signal is applied to an input node of the evaluation circuit causing the transistor to turn on and the hold capacitor to discharge for a duration of the igniter spark impulse signal, and wherein a discharged voltage at the hold capacitor is maintained and output by the operational amplifier, the discharged voltage representing the duration of the igniter spark impulse and indicating the life condition of the spark igniter.

Abstract: A combustion control system and method for a turbulent jet ignition engine is presented. A controller is configured to access a trained feedforward artificial neural network (ANN) configured to model a first spark from a first ignition source and maximum brake torque (MBT) based on measured operating parameters, generate the first spark and MBT using the ANN, generate a second spark from a second ignition device, and determine a target spark timing. The ANN can be further configured to receive an input related to spark stagger.

Abstract: A method of operating a multi-engine system of an aircraft having first and second engines includes accumulating compressed air in a pressure vessel external to the engines, and operating the first and second engines asymmetrically, by controlling the first engine to operate in an active operating condition providing sufficient power and/or rotor speed for demands of the aircraft, and controlling the second engine to operate in a standby operating condition wherein the second engine produces less power output than the first engine. In response to a power demand request, the second engine is accelerated out of the standby operating condition by introducing therein compressed air from the pressure vessel at a location upstream of a combustor of the second engine.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a system that includes an engine having a shaft that rotates around an axis of rotation, an engine controller configured to control the engine, an electric machine mechanically coupled to the shaft of the engine, and an electrical controller. The engine controller is configured to control the engine using control techniques configured for a mechanical device having a target moment of inertia around the axis of rotation. The electric machine has an actual moment of inertia around the axis of rotation that is different from the target moment of inertia. To supplement control of the engine due to the difference in moments of inertia, the electrical controller is configured to receive a rotational speed of the shaft, determine a torque for the shaft based on the speed of the shaft, and control the electric machine to apply the torque to the shaft.

Abstract: Herein provided are methods and systems for setting an acceleration schedule for engine start of a gas turbine engine. A rotational acceleration measurement of the engine is obtained after the engine is energized in response to a start request. The rotational acceleration measurement of the engine is compared to a threshold value within an acceleration band having a maximum threshold and a minimum threshold. An acceleration schedule is determined based on a position of the rotational acceleration measurement of the engine in the acceleration band relative to the threshold value.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a fluid-based system are disclosed. The systems and methods may include generating a model output using a model processor, processing a model input vector and setting a model operating mode, and setting dynamic states of the model processor, the dynamic states input to an open loop model based on the model operating mode. Synthesized parameters are generated as a function of the dynamic states and the model input vector based on a series of utilities, where at least one of the utilities is a configurable utility including one or more sub-utilities. An estimated state of the model is determined based on at least one of a prior state and the synthesized parameters. An actuator associated with the control device is directed as a function of a model output, where the model output includes an estimated thrust value for the control device.
