Filed:

Jul 2, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/347309

Inventors:

Joseph A. Hogle - Roanoke VA
Michael G. Wise - Roanoke VA

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

G01R 2500

US Classification:

702 65, 702 60, 324 7653, 324 86, 324107

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for determining, in real time, the key parameters of a three phase system electrical generators output. A pair of reference vectors in quadrature (orthogonal) is phase-locked to a selected input open delta line to line voltage vector. Preferably, the cosine reference vector is locked 45Â out of phase from the selected input vector whereby a best projection of the input vector onto the quadrature pair is provided and increases accuracy in subsequent magnitude and phase calculations. The phase-locked reference vectors provide a basis for computing the magnitude and phase angle for the remaining open delta line to line voltage vectors and three line to neutral current vectors. Instantaneous measurement of magnitude and phase angle for the three line to line voltages and three line to neutral currents, the generators real power (watts), volt-amperes reactive (VARS), apparent power (VA), power factor (PF) and, as a result of the phase locking, the precise frequency of the generator are possible.

International Classification:

G06F019/00

US Classification:

702 98, 702 85

Abstract:

A method for providing a corrective modulation signal to suppress an acoustic pressure wave in an operational system. The method includes sampling the acoustic pressure wave generated in the operational system; sampling a previously generated corrective modulation signal; performing fast Fourier transform processing on the sampled acoustic pressure wave; a pair of single frequency discrete Fourier transform processing is performed on the sampled acoustic pressure wave; determining the frequency, phase and magnitude of a dominate pressure wave in the acoustic pressure wave based on the fast Fourier and discrete Fourier transform processing; generating a sinusoidal corrective modulation signal to suppress the acoustic pressure wave based on the frequency, phase and magnitude of the dominate pressure wave and the parameters of the previously generated corrective modulation signal, the corrective modulation signal being at substantially the same frequency as, and generally 180 degrees out of phase with, the acoustic pressure wave.

International Classification:

F01K 13/02

US Classification:

60646, 60657, 60660

Abstract:

A method for controlling a turbine-generator including: detecting a power-load unbalance between a turbine and a generator; measuring the duration of a power-load unbalance; measuring the rate of loss of an electrical load; and regulating steam flow through the turbine responsive to the rate of loss of an electrical load and the duration of the power-load unbalance; all of which results in more accurate and robust control of turbine-generator speed.

International Classification:

H04L 1/00
H03M 13/05

Abstract:

One embodiment describes a method for real time error correction in a data transmission system that includes receiving a first communication signal on a first programmable logic device from a second programmable logic device via a first serial link, receiving a second communication signal on the first programmable logic device from the second programmable logic device via a second serial link, in which the first serial link and the second serial link are disposed in parallel with each other and are configured to communicate over a single conduit, and the first communication signal and the second communication signal are representative of identical information. The method further includes comparing the first communication signal and the second communication signal in the first programmable logic device to detect an error in data in the first communication signal, the second communication signal, or both, and when the error is detected, correcting the error in real time in the first programmable logic device based at least in part on the comparison of the first communication signal and the second communication signal.

International Classification:

H04L 12/24

H04L 1/22

Abstract:

One embodiment describes a fault tolerant transmission system that includes a programmable logic device. The programmable logic device includes a first serial port communicatively coupled to a first serial link, in which the first serial port receives a first transmission signal from the first serial link, and a second serial port communicatively coupled to a second serial link, in which the second serial port receives a second transmission signal from the second serial link. The first serial link and the second serial link are disposed in parallel with each other and communicate over a first single conduit, and the first communication signal and the second communication signal are representative of identical information. The programmable logic device further includes circuitry that detects a fault in the first serial link, the second serial link, or both by comparing the first communication signal and the second, and if a fault is detected, determines whether the transmission system can continue operation despite the fault.

US Classification:

702 58

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for fault detection are disclosed. At least one controller may identify a plurality of values where each value corresponds to a monitored parameter or a measured parameter. The at least one controller may determine a respective deviation between each of the plurality of values and an expected value, and may further determine whether at least one of the respective deviations exceeds a threshold. Upon a determination that at least one of the respective deviations exceeds the threshold, a fault may be detected. Each of the plurality of values may be associated with a respective device that monitors or measures the value. A detected fault may be associated with the device that monitors or measures the value determined to deviate from the expected value by more than the threshold.
