Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a method for controlling a power generation system, the method including: detecting a heat distribution across a component of a power generation system from a thermal output of the component, during operation of the power generation system; calculating a projected heat distribution across the component based on a library of modeling data for the power generation system; calculating whether a difference between the heat distribution and the projected heat distribution exceeds a thermal threshold; adjusting the power generation system in response to the difference exceeding the predetermined threshold, wherein the adjusting includes modifying an operating setting of the power generation system.

Abstract: A hose connection system for connecting a hose to a gas turbine engine. The hose connection system may include a connection fitting and a connection tool. The connection fitting may include a first member to be attached to the gas turbine engine, a mating component to be attached to the hose, and a splined second member to be torqued onto the first member. The connection tool may include a drive wheel with a number of drive wheel splines such that the drive wheel splines torque the splined second member onto the first member.

Abstract: Leak-detection systems for detecting fluid leaks in component(s) included in an apparatus are disclosed. The leak-detection systems may include an inspection vehicle for inspecting the component(s) of the apparatus. The inspection vehicle may include at least one camera positioned on a housing, and a fluid-detection tool coupled to the housing. The fluid-detection tool may detect fluids leaking from the component(s) of the apparatus.

Abstract: A pulse detector achieves high accuracy over a wide dynamic range in providing accurately spaced pulse edge markers that allow measurement of pulse to pulse time intervals. Received input pulses are transformed to a Gaussian like waveform and a single cycle AC signal having a first polarity initial half cycle is derived therefrom, accomplished by subtracting the Gaussian like waveform from a delayed, but substantially time overlapping, copy of that waveform. Upon completion of that initial half cycle, a pulse edge marker is generated. By measuring the time between the pulse edge marker obtained from one inputted pulse and that of the next, a measurement of the pulse to pulse interval is achieved that is of one nanosecond in accuracy.
