  • Patent number: 10422287
    Abstract: A power generation system includes one or more processors and memory storing instructions that cause the one or more processor to execute a series of steps. That is, the one or more processors receive data indicative of a plurality of inputs associated with the power generation system, such that the plurality of inputs include a flow rate of a valve coupled between an inlet of a compressor in the power generation system and an exhaust of the compressor, where the valve fluidly couples a first fluid exiting the exhaust of the compressor to the inlet of the compressor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 20, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 24, 2019
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Rebecca Kathryn Jaiven, Andrew David Ogden, Thomas John Freeman
  • Patent number: 10364754
    Abstract: A power generation system includes a processor and memory storing instructions that cause the processor to receive a first set of sensor data indicative of one or more ambient conditions with respect to the power generation system, determine whether one of the one or more ambient conditions is above a respective threshold, and send a signal to a valve to open when the one of the one or more ambient conditions is below the respective threshold, such that the valve is configured to fluidly couple a first fluid exiting a compressor to an inlet of the compressor.

  • Patent number: 9909508
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to a system including: a computing device in communication with a combustion system, wherein the computing device is configured to perform actions including: issuing an input to the combustion system; determining whether one of a dynamic output and an emission output corresponding to the input to the combustion system exceeds a first boundary condition; and adjusting the input to the combustion system by one of a first step change and a second step change; wherein the first step change corresponds to the dynamic output and the emission output not exceeding the first boundary condition, and the second step change corresponds to one of the dynamic output and the emission output exceeding the first boundary condition, the second step change being less than the first step change.

  • Patent number: 9879614
    Abstract: Commanding GTs to base load level based upon measured ambient condition for each GT; commanding each GT to adjust a power output to match scaled power output value equal to a fraction of a difference between the respective power output and a nominal power output value, and measuring actual emissions value for each GT during the adjusting of the respective power output; adjusting operating condition of each GT based upon a difference between the respective measured actual emissions value, a nominal emissions value at the ambient condition and emissions scale factor; updating a pre-existing emissions model for each GT based upon the adjusted operating; running set of operating conditions on each GT and measuring updated parameters for each GT including an updated emissions value; and refining updated pre-existing emissions model based upon a difference between the updated emissions value and the updated pre-existing emissions model.
