Power Generation System

The technique of controlling engine acceleration has made possible gas turbine controls with simple hydromechanics and a minimal number of inputs into the electronics. This paper describes a control and electrical power generation system developed for an unmanned aircraft gas turbine, and the results obtained from the development engine running carried out with it.

System States

Fortunately traditional reliability theory, where the system and the components are always described simply as functioning or failed, is on the way to being replaced by a theory for multistate systems of multistate components. However, there is a need for several convincing case studies demonstrating the practicability of the generalizations introduced. In this paper an electrical power generation system for two nearby oilrigs will be discussed. The amounts of power that may possibly be supplied to the two oilrigs are considered as system states.
