Abstract

A bowed rotor start mitigation system for a gas turbine engine is provided. The bow rotor start mitigation system includes a controller operable to receive a speed input indicative of a rotor speed of the gas turbine engine and a measured temperature of the gas turbine engine. The controller is further operable to drive motoring of the gas turbine engine by oscillating the rotor speed within a motoring band for a motoring time based on the measured temperature when a start sequence of the gas turbine engine is initiated.
