    摘要: A method of evaluating performance of a gas turbine includes: acquiring static operation determination data and acquiring index value data; storing the acquired data; determining whether or not the gas turbine is in a static operation state in accordance with whether or not the static operation determination data for each of a plurality of times in a period in the past set in advance from a determination time among the static operation determination data for each of the plurality of times stored in the storing of the data entering a range of a variation width set in advance; and acquiring the evaluation index value using the index value data at the determination time at which the gas turbine is determined to be in the static operation state. The static operation determination data includes a cavity temperature between an inner shroud of a turbine vane and a rotor shaft.

    摘要: A method of operating a gas turbine engine having a spool includes executing, by a controller, a shutdown procedure. The shutdown procedure includes: performing an idle rotation operation; determining a parameter associated with a thermal condition of the gas turbine engine while the idle rotation operation is performed; determining, based on the determined parameter, whether the gas turbine engine has met a pre-determined criterion corresponding to a thermally stabilised condition; and terminating the idle rotation operation in response to a determination that the gas turbine engine has met the pre-determined criterion.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine (10) includes a compressor section, a turbine section, and an accessory gearbox (100). A turning unit (200) for the gas turbine engine includes an output assembly (204) configured to be mechanically coupled to the gas turbine engine, and an electric motor (202). The electric motor is operable to rotate, through the output assembly, one or more components of the compressor section or the turbine section at a rotational speed less than about fifty revolutions per minute during a shut-down condition of the gas turbine engine.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a core cowl and a core contained within the core cowl. The core includes a compressor in fluid communication with a downstream combustor and a downstream turbine, the compressor including a compressor bleed port, wherein an undercowl space is defined between the core cowl and the core. The gas turbine engine further includes a cooling duct disposed at least partially in the undercowl space and having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the cooling duct is in fluid communication with a source of cooling air and is further in fluid communication with the compressor bleed port; a valve assembly including at least one valve disposed in the cooling duct; and a cooling blower disposed within the engine and operable to move an air flow from the inlet of the cooling duct towards the outlet of the cooling duct and through the compressor bleed port.

    摘要: This steam turbine blade is provided with: a blade body (61) extending in a radial direction and having an airfoil profile in a cross section perpendicular to the radial direction; and a heater (H) including a heating wire disposed so as to extend along a trailing edge (Er) of the airfoil profile in the blade body (61). This configuration makes it possible to further mitigate an efficiency drop due to moisture attached to the surface of the steam turbine blade (60).
