Patent number: 11892003Abstract: A control system for active stability management of a compressor element of a turbine engine is provided. In one example aspect, the control system includes one or more computing devices configured to receive data indicative of an operating characteristic associated with the compressor element. For instance, the data can be received from a high frequency sensor operable to sense pressure at the compressor element. The computing devices are also configured to determine, by a machine-learned model, a stall margin remaining of the compressor element based at least in part on the received data. The machine-learned model is trained to recognize certain characteristics of the received data and associate the characteristics with a stall margin remaining of the compressor element. The computing devices are also configured to cause adjustment of one or more engine systems based at least in part on the determined stall margin remaining.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2019Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: James Ryan Reepmeyer, Johan Michael Reimann, Gagan Adibhatla, Evin Nathaniel Barber, Stefan Joseph Cafaro, Rahim Panjwani, Frederick John Menditto, III, Aaron James Schmitz, Suchot Kongsomboonvech, Richard Anthony Zelinski

Patent number: 10466661Abstract: A controller includes a processor and memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, are configured to cause the processor to receive measurements pertaining to a measured operation parameter of at least a portion of a turbine system. The instructions are also configured to cause the processor to generate a customized model for the at least the portion of the turbine system.

Patent number: 9791352Abstract: An automated prognostics system includes a sensor system configured to obtain measurement data by monitoring one or more parameters at one or more locations on each of one or more movable components of an object when the object is subjected to a first mode of operation. The system also includes a computing device having an input interface and a processor. The input interface receives input information such as spatial coordinates information associated with the one or more locations, the measurement data obtained by the sensor system, operational data associated with the first mode of operation, and structural data associated with the object. The processor processes the input information and generates a prognostics report on at least a first component of the one or more movable components, the prognostics report including at least one of a failure prognostic or a likelihood-of-failure prognostic of the first component.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Romano Patrick, Sameer Vittal, Johan Michael Reimann

Patent number: 9459153Abstract: An automated analytics system can include a sensor system that obtains measurement data by monitoring one or more parameters at each of a number of locations on each of a number of replicated components of an object. A computing device receives the measurement data from the sensor system and uses the measurement data to automatically generate a computerized representation of each of the plurality of replicated components. Thereafter, upon receipt of an input query, the computing device generates a synthesized representation of the object that is specifically directed to a parameter of interest indicated in the query. The synthesized representation may be displayed in a visual format that is interpretable by a human to derive information associated with the parameter of interest.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Romano Patrick, Sameer Vittal, Gary Cristofoli, Johan Michael Reimann

A numerical model of the gas turbine component is created and parameter measurements are obtained in real-time for at least a portion of the gas turbine component. The parameter measurements are fused with a subset of the numerical model corresponding to the portion of the gas turbine component to obtain a subset of a fused parameter model corresponding to the portion of the gas turbine component. The subset of the fused parameter model is expanded to obtain the fused parameter model that corresponds to at least a location outside of the portion of the gas turbine component. The life of the gas turbine component is monitored using the fused temperature model.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2014Publication date: November 12, 2015Applicant: General Electric CompanyInventors: Achalesh Kumar Pandey, Khan Mohamed Khirullah Genghis Khan, Venkatesh Kattigari Madyastha, Niranjan Gokuldas Pai, Romano Patrick, Johan Michael Reimann, Felipe Antonio Chegury Viana
