  • Method and apparatus for digital analysis and signal conditioning in a turbine generator silo combustor
    Patent number: 6535124
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing and signal conditioning the pulsation signal derived from combustion of fuel in a turbine. There are one or more user defined frequency bands and the method and apparatus provides a digital signal for the true RMS value of each of the user defined bands. Turbine protection logic has as its input the digital true RMS values for each such band and inspects that value to determine if the frequencies in that band exceed a predetermined level for a predetermined period of time.
