  • Publication number: 20150118047
    Abstract: A method for determining parameters of a wind turbine is disclosed. The method may generally include receiving signals from at least one Micro Inertial Measurement Unit (MIMU) mounted on or within a component of the wind turbine and determining at least one parameter of the wind turbine based on the signals received from the at least one MIMU.

  • Patent number: 8662150
    Abstract: A media sheet for a heat exchanger is disclosed. The media sheet includes a first layer having a first outer surface and a second layer having a second outer surface. The first and second layers define a plurality of passages extending therebetween. At least one of the first and second outer surfaces comprises a plurality of depressions. The plurality of depressions further define the plurality of passages therebetween. The media sheet is polymer fiber-based and wettable.

  • Patent number: 8182587
    Abstract: A system for use with an inlet of a gas turbine through which an airflow toward the gas turbine proceeds is provided and includes a first self-cleaning stage to remove dust, snow and ice from the airflow, a second water tight stage, disposed downstream from the first stage, to prevent aerosol droplets and aqueous solutions of deliquesced particulates, which include at least portions of the dust not removed by the first stage and which are re-released into the airflow from the first stage, from proceeding along the airflow and to remove solid particulates not removed by the first stage from the airflow, and a third water removal stage, disposed downstream from the second stage, to remove from the airflow aerosol droplets leaking from the second stage.

  • Patent number: 8167980
    Abstract: A system for use with an inlet of a gas turbine through which airflow toward the gas turbine proceeds is provided and includes a first stage to remove primary aerosol droplets from the airflow by coalescing the primary aerosol droplets into secondary aerosol droplets, which are larger than the primary aerosol droplets, and to remove solid particulates from the airflow, a second water tight stage, disposed downstream from the first stage, to prevent the secondary aerosol droplets and aqueous solutions of deliquesced particulates, which are not removed by the first stage and which are re-released into the airflow from the first stage, from proceeding along the airflow and to remove solid particulates not removed by the first stage from the airflow, and a third water removal stage, disposed downstream from the second stage, to remove from the airflow the remaining secondary aerosol droplets leaking from the first and second stages.

  • Publication number: 20110173947
    Abstract: A gas turbine power augmentation system and method are provided. The system includes a chiller, a controller, a heat exchanger, and a gas turbine inlet air flow. The chiller may be operable to chill a coolant flow using energy from a heat source. The controller may be operably connected to the chiller and configured to regulate operation of the chiller in relation to at least one environmental condition. The heat exchanger may be in fluid communication with the chiller and configured to allow the coolant flow to pass through the heat exchanger. The gas turbine inlet air flow may be directed through the heat exchanger before entering a gas turbine inlet, allowing the air flow to interact with the coolant flow, thereby cooling the air flow.
