    摘要: An adjustment ring (200) for a variable turbine geometry (100). The adjustment ring (200) comprises a disk-shaped body (210) and a plurality of coupling regions (220) which are configured in the disk-shape body (210). The coupling regions (220) are spaced apart in the circumferential direction (26), and each coupling region (220) is adapted for at least partially receiving a vane lever (140) for adjusting a guide vane (120) of a variable turbine geometry (100). Each coupling region (220) circumferentially is fully surrounded by the disk-shaped body (210). The disk-shaped body (210) on one or more of the coupling regions (220) has at least one reinforcement means (230) which extends in the axial direction (22) from the disk-shaped body (210) and circumferentially at least partially surrounds the coupling region (220).

    摘要: A two-gas shaft turbine control system (31) is disclosed. The gas turbine control system comprises a fuel controller (35), which receives a speed error signal, indicating whether the low-pressure turbine wheel (11) of the gas turbine (1) is rotating at the desired target speed. The gas turbine control system (31) further comprises an NGV controller (41), which receives a speed error signal, indicating whether the high-pressure turbine wheel (9) of the gas turbine engine (1) is rotating at the desired target speed. Two cross channel controllers are further provided. On the basis of a gas turbine model, a first cross channel controller (43) provides a fuel control modification signal, which is added to a control signal generated by the fuel controller (35). A second cross channel controller (45) provides an NGV control modification signal. The modification signals are aimed at reducing or canceling the effect of mutual interaction between fuel control and NGV control. A two-shaft gas turbine engine system and a method of operation are further disclosed.

    摘要: A system includes a gas turbine system including a compressor, a combustor, a turbine, and an exhaust section. The system also includes multiple sensors coupled to components of the gas turbine system. The system further includes a controller communicatively coupled to the gas turbine system and the multiple sensors and configured to control operations of the gas turbine system, wherein the controller is configured to calculate a surrogate value for turbine exit Mach number based on the feedback from the multiple sensors and to utilize the surrogate value to derive a control action for the gas turbine system.

    摘要: An aircraft engine, has: a low-pressure compressor and a high-pressure compressor located downstream of the low-pressure compressor; a gaspath valve upstream of the high-pressure compressor, the gaspath valve movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration; and a bypass flow path having in flow series a bypass inlet, a bypass valve, and a bypass outlet, the bypass inlet fluidly communicating with the gaspath upstream of at least one stage of the low-pressure compressor, the bypass valve having an open configuration in which the bypass valve allows a bypass flow and a closed configuration in which the bypass valve blocks the bypass flow, the bypass outlet fluidly communicating with the bypass inlet via the bypass valve and with the gaspath at a location in the gaspath fluidly downstream of the gaspath valve, downstream of the low-pressure compressor, and upstream of the high-pressure compressor.
