System for detecting anomalies in gas turbines using audio output
In one embodiment, a turbine system includes a number of sensors, each of the number of sensors disposed in a respective location of the turbine system, and a controller including a memory storing one or more processor-executable routines and a processor. The processor configured to access and execute the one or more routines encoded by the memory wherein the one or more routines, when executed cause the processor to receive one or more signals from the number of sensors during any stage of operation of the turbine system, and convert the one or more signals to audio output.
STARTER ISSUE DETECTION
Systems and methods for detecting an issue with a starter are provided. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for detecting an anomaly with an air turbine starter. The method includes receiving, by one or more controllers, data indicative of a frequency associated with an integrated air turbine starter from one or more sensors located on a stationary portion of the air turbine starter to monitor a rotating portion of the air turbine starter. The method includes determining, by the one or more controllers, an anomaly associated with the integrated air turbine starter based at least in part on the data indicative of the frequency. The method includes providing, by the one or more controllers, a notification indicative of the anomaly associated with the integrated air turbine starter.

TURBOMACHINE TEST BENCH WITH ACTIVE NOISE CONTROL
a test bench for turbomachine comprising: an installation zone for turbomachine; an active system for attenuating the noise emissions produced by the turbomachine. The active system includes an attenuation zone with emitters such as loudspeakers; a first microphone placed downstream of the turbomachine; and a second microphone placed downstream of the attenuation zone. The system reduces the turbomachine waves on the basis of the measurements from the first microphone and from the second microphone. The invention also proposes a method for attenuating the noise emissions from the turbomachine tested in the test bench.

A gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine includes a turbomachine comprising a low speed spool; a rotor assembly coupled to the low speed spool; an electric machine mechanically coupled to the low speed spool at a connection point of the low speed spool; and a clutch positioned in the torque path of the low speed spool between the connection point and the rotor assembly
Apparatus and method for controlling wireless charger for vehicle
An apparatus for controlling a wireless charger for a vehicle includes a communication device to receive an input from a user and information on the vehicle, and a controller to employ one of a first driving duty ratio of a cooling fan set based on the information on the vehicle, a second driving duty ratio of the cooling fan set based on the input from the user, or a third driving duty ratio of the cooling fan set through auto-tuning operation to operate the cooling fan, to enhance charging performance of the wireless charger while minimizing the feeling of the user bothered due to operating noise of a cooling fan.
Acoustical health monitoring of gas turbine engines
Health monitoring systems and associated methods for gas turbine engines are provided. A health monitoring method includes using a microphone to acquire operation data indicative of acoustic energy generated in a core gas path of the gas turbine engine. The operation data is compared to reference data indicative of an acoustic signature of fluid noise associated with a non-normal condition in the core gas path of the gas turbine engine. Based on the comparing of the operation data to the reference data, the non-normal condition is determined to exist within the core gas path of the gas turbine engine. A signal indicative of the existence of the non-normal condition within the core gas path of the gas turbine engine is output.
Rubbing position identification device and rubbing position identification method for rotating machine
The present invention relates to a rubbing position identification device for a rotating machine provided with a fixed part and a rotating part. This device is provided with an AE sensor, an axial vibration sensor and a rubbing position identification unit. In the case of rubbing occurring in the rotating machine, the rubbing position identification unit calculates the AE phase, which corresponds to the peak of an envelope determined on the base of change over time in the AE signal detected by the AE sensor, and the axial vibration phase, which corresponds to the high spot position of the rotating part specified on the basis of the change over time in the axial vibration signal detected by the axial vibration sensor, and, on the basis of the phase difference between these, identifies the circumferential-direction position of where rubbing has occurred in the rotating machine.
