International Classification:

F02C 3/20
F02C 9/00
F23R 3/10
F02C 3/30

US Classification:

60772, 60 39461, 60737, 60754, 60756, 60748, 60 3923

Abstract:

Systems and methods for an oxy-fuel type combustion reaction are provided. In one or more embodiments, a combustion system can include at least two mixing zones, where a first mixing zone at least partially mixes oxygen and carbon dioxide to produce a first mixture and a second mixing zone at least partially mixes the first mixture with a fuel to produce a second mixture. The combustion system can also include a combustion zone configured to combust the second mixture to produce a combustion product. In one or more embodiments, the first mixture can have a spatially varied ratio of oxygen-to-carbon dioxide configured to generate a hot zone in the combustion zone to increase flame stability in the combustion zone.

International Classification:

F02C 9/50

Abstract:

A method for detecting blowout precursors in at least one gas turbine combustor comprising: receiving combustion dynamics acoustic data measured by an acoustic measuring device associated with the combustor in real time; performing wavelet analysis on the acoustic data using simplified Mexican Hat wavelet transform analysis; and determining the existence of a blowout precursor based at least in part on the wavelet analysis. Provided also is a system and a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to perform the method.

US Classification:

702 35

Abstract:

A system and method for anomaly detection is provided. The system () and method () include utilizing one or more processors, such as in a server, for receiving () operational and dynamics data () from sensors associated with devices (), filtering the data, establishing a set of baseline dynamics data and eliminating data dependencies (). The system and method further include generating an expected level of data variation (), identifying an anomaly based on a deviation of the device data from the baseline data normalized by the expected level of data variation (), optionally correlating an anomaly with potential causes, and providing an output indicating an anomaly ().
