  • Method of operating a turbine engine after flame off
    Patent number: 9963995
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of decelerating a turbine rotor of a turbine engine. At least one electric motor is engaged with the turbine rotor. A braking system, preferably the starting system, is engaged with the at least one electric motor, preferably the generator of the turbine engine, so as to use the at least one electric motor to apply a negative (braking) torque on the turbine rotor. The method includes after flame off, the braking system being used for dissipating kinetic energy available in the turbine engine after flame off by means of the at least one electric motor.
