    Abstract: A method is provided for modifying an airfoil shroud located at a tip of a blade of an airfoil, the airfoil shroud having a first end edge, a second end edge, a leading edge, and a trailing edge. The method includes locating a reference location in the first end edge of the airfoil shroud, the reference location including a portion of a seal rail extending circumferentially from a radially outer surface of the airfoil shroud, and a fillet extending from the radially outer surface and positioned directly adjacent to the seal rail. The method further includes forming a relief cut in the seal rail and fillet without performing a weld process on the airfoil shroud to remove the reference location, and installing the airfoil shroud in a turbomachine directly following forming the relief cut, wherein modifying the airfoil shroud is complete following forming the relief cut.

    Abstract: A system for controlling a gas turbine power plant includes a plurality of sensors configured to transmit signals indicative of one or more operating parameters of the gas turbine, and a control system in electronic communication with each sensor. The control system is configured to compute cumulative wear for one or more hardware components of the gas turbine based at least in part on the signals. Instructions are inputted into the control system which indicates a desired operational mode for the gas turbine. The control system may then compute a hardware consumption rate based at least in part on the cumulative wear. The hardware consumption rate may then be displayed to an operator via a display device. The operator may use the hardware consumption rate to determine potential economic impact of operating the gas turbine at the desired operational mode.

    Abstract: A turbine component includes a first structure exposed to a hot gas path and a second structure integral with the first structure but isolated from the hot gas path. A first fluid passage in the first structure delivers a thermal transfer fluid, e.g., air, through the first structure to cool the first structure. A second fluid passage is defined within the second structure and is in fluid communication with the first fluid passage. After heat transfer in the first structure, the thermal transfer fluid is hotter than a temperature of the second structure and thus increases the temperature of the second structure. The heat transfer to the second structure reduces a temperature difference between the first structure and the second structure that would, without heating, cause thermal stress between the structures. The heating of the second structure reduces the need for early maintenance and lengthens the lifespan of the component.

    Abstract: A vibration dampening system includes a vibration dampening element for a turbine nozzle or blade. A body opening extends through the turbine nozzle or blade, e.g., through the airfoil among potentially other parts of the nozzle or blade. A vibration dampening element includes a plurality of stacked damper pins within the body opening. The damper pins include an outer body having an inner opening, a first end surface and an opposing second end surface; and an inner body nested and movable within the inner opening of the outer body. The end surfaces frictionally engage to dampen vibration. The inner body has a first central opening including a first portion configured to engage an elongated body therein and an outer surface configured to frictionally engage a portion of the inner opening of the outer body to dampen vibration.

    Abstract: An impingement insert for HGP component may include a hollow body having a longitudinal extent, an exterior surface and an interior surface. The hollow body may include a first side wall, a second side wall contiguous with the first side wall at a first end of each, the second side wall is flexibly movable relative to the first side wall. A spring element is contiguous with a second end of each of the first side wall and the second side wall, and extends along at least a portion of the longitudinal extent of the hollow body and into the hollow body between the first side wall and the second side wall. The spring element biases the side walls to an expanded position from a compressed position of the hollow body. Cooling passages pass between the exterior surface and the interior surface of the hollow body in both side walls.

Additionally, the shrouds may include a second cooling passage and/or a third cooling passage. The second cooling passage may extend adjacent the forward end and may be in fluid communication with the first cooling passage. The third cooling passage may extend adjacent the aft end, and may be in fluid communication with the first cooling passage.

The cooling configuration may include a pair of counterflowing crossflow channels in which a first crossflow channel extends side-by-side with a neighboring second crossflow channel; and a feed and outlet channel configuration comprising neighboring feed and outlet channels. The feed channel may connect at a first connection to an upstream end of the first crossflow channel and the outlet channel may connect at a second connection to a downstream end of the second crossflow channel. The feed channel may extend in an inner radial direction from an inlet to the first connection. The outlet channel may extend in an outer radial direction from the second connection to an outlet. The feed channel may include a section that undercuts the outlet channel.
