Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Model based bump-less transfer between passive and active mode operation of three-way check valve for liquid fuel delivery in gas turbine systems." This invention provides a method using an inverse three-way valve model with feed-forward fuel flow control. It aims to control liquid fuel flow in a turbine power generation system, achieving a bump-less driven watts (dwatt) power output during fuel mode transitions. The method utilizes an inverse fluid flow model for a three-way check valve, which is based on a valve position surrogate to estimate fuel spike/dwatt oscillation during mode transitions.
Another significant patent is the "System and method for model based turbine shaft power predictor." In this invention, a control system includes a processor that receives signals from sensors in a gas turbine system. The processor predicts derived mechanical power for the shaft and derives a power adjustment by executing at least one model. This innovation allows for controlling the gas turbine system based on corrected mechanical power, enhancing overall performance.
