Oldrich Zaviska has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7909506
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a temperature profile and the integral mean temperature and/or axis temperature in a thick wall or shaft. In order to determine a mean integral wall temperature during heating or cooling processes in a multilayer model, the mean integral wall temperature is calculated from the mean temperature of each layer. A multilayer model is used for determining the mean integral wall temperature during heating or cooling processes and draws upon the mean temperature of each layer.

  • Patent number: 6912855
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve a method for the primary control so that reserve power that is practically completely available for the effective frequency boost within seconds is available also in the stem turbine part of a gas/steam turbine installation. To this end, the pressure stage is operated with a control valve (6, 7, 8) that is throttled to such an extent that a frequency boost power reserve is built up. Said power reserve is used for frequency boosting in the event of an underfrequency by correcting the desired value depending on the underfrequency. Said corrected value corresponds to an effective area of the flow that is increased vis-รข-vis the throttled condition of the control valve (6, 7, 8) and acts on the effective area of flow of the control value (6, 7, 8) with an impressed signal that approaches zero after a predetermined time.

  • Patent number: 6134891
    Abstract: A quick power regulation for a power station system is achieved by activating energy storage mechanisms of the power station system process. The energy storage mechanisms are used to increase the generator power. At least the generator power and a thermal power extracted from the power station system process are determined as process variables. The process variables characterize the current operating state and determine position setpoint values of actuators. A device for a quick power regulation receives at least values of the generator power and a thermal power extracted from the power system process. The control device determines position setpoint values for a number of actuators connected to a steam turbine of the power station.

  • Patent number: 5914537
    Abstract: A method for quickly controlling the output of a power plant having a turbo-generator set with a steam turbine and a generator, activates energy storage present during a plant process in order to set an additional generator output. In order to achieve a particularly effective control, fuzzy logic is used for the controlled activation of the energy storage. Fuzzy-logic rules from experience at the plant are used in this process. An apparatus for carrying out the method includes a fuzzy-logic system having inputs which include the additional generator output and an energy situation of the activatable storage, and outputs that specify desired setting values for the degree of activation of the individual energy storage.
