Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for automated power plant unit trip prediction and control. Power plant controls may have limited time to manage the plant loads when one of the units trips unexpectedly. To mitigate any consequences on a power grid associated with a trip event, these systems and methods may allow for prediction of such trip events. The predictions may allow a signal to be provided to a controller in sufficient time for the controller to automatically take any necessary action to mitigate any impacts of the future trip event.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide load sharing for maintaining a stable operation of a group of electrical power generators in different load sharing scenarios. Over an interconnect bus, a controller of a gas-turbine generator (GTG) receives an indication of power generated in a set of GTGs (including the GTG) that are part of a power network, and an indication of a status change of the power network. Based on the status change and the power generated, the controller of the GTG determines whether a change in power generated by the power network is to occur and a new power level to be generated by the GTG.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing engine cycle counts are disclosed. One method may include determining, by at least one processor, a plurality of cycles and partial cycles associated with an engine; and predicting, by at least one processor, a life cycle associated with the engine based at least in part on the plurality of cycles and partial cycles.
