A comprehensive literature survey of the field of gas turbine math modeling and performance monitoring is presented. The development of the modeling techniques has been traced from the earliest and simplified cycle analysis procedures through to…
A description of the detailed performance models is presented in terms of a typical two-shaft engine. The primary features of the model include a component matching scheme as well as the ability to degrade any component including the sensors. The…
A method to calculate a common set of Ultrasonic meter Gaussian quadrature ±0.809R/±0.309R velocity diagnostics has been developed for multi-path Ultrasonic meters with Gaussian and proprietary path configurations. An uncertainty model has been…
Data collection protocols and a common database have been developed to ensure complete and consistent collection of ultrasonic meter (USM) calibration data, logs files and documentation of test piping layout. By using an Excel input table…
This 2015 NSCR project continues NSCR research started in 2009 and continued in 2011 under ERLE 2c and combines it with OBD research started in 2008 and continued in 2011. The 2009 NSCR research concluded that downstream measurement of lambda, O2 and…
In response to ozone and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), it is anticipated that there will be continued pressure for retrofit NOx control of existing slow speed integral reciprocating engines. This will likely…
Our objective of this work was to investigate exclusively Daniel USMs. Sixty five thousand individual data points were used in MLA development which totaled over 18 hours of USM data from seven experimental data sets generated at three flow…
The Pipeline Research Council International has funded multiple projects focusing on using reciprocating engine operating data to diagnose combustion problems. This effort extends those techniques on reciprocating compressor units including the gas…
Prior PRCI funded projects identified the ability of a continuous engine performance monitor (CEPM) to fulfill the likelihood of industry acceptance as a Performance Monitoring alternative to a Continuous Emission Monitoring System CEMS in future…
