The technical evolution of the industrial and aeronautical groups involving gas turbines, determined by the request of increased efficiency and reliability, imposes the control through modern command and control automation systems. The paper describes a system destined to safely monitor, command and control the working conditions through complete automation of all command functions of a gas turbine. The system is suitable for all series of applications involving gas turbines, also providing a decrease in exploitation and maintenance costs.

Abstract With the well-known Transonic Compressor Darmstadt (TCD) in operation since 1994, profound knowledge in designing and operating a sophisticated test-rig is available at the Institute of Gas Turbines and Aerospace Propulsion of TU Darmstadt. During this period, TCD has been subject to a vast number of redesigns within different measurement campaigns (see [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]). To expand the capabilities and ensure a sustainable process of compressor research, a new test facility was designed and built by the institute. The new test rig Transonic Compressor Darmstadt 2 (TCD2) features increased power for higher pressure ratios and higher mass-flow, a state of the art control system, increased flexibility towards different compressor geometries and modern data acquisition hardware and software. Following the successful commissioning of the test-rig in March 2018, a first measurement campaign has been conducted. Early test results regarding aerodynamic performance and aeroelastic effects of the test compressor are presented together with a detailed overview of test-rig infrastructure and control systems as well as the test compressor and the measurement hardware.

We proceed from the perspective of object-oriented analysis and design modeling, focusing on the model design of command and control automation system, using Colored Petri Net (CPN) to a command and control systems for dynamic design and simulation run. A method of mapping from UML product can be used for logical, behavioral and performance aspects of architecture evaluation methods of CPN executable models is proposed. We first descript the command and control system for UML modeling generally, and then elaborate the process from UML products are mapped to the CPN build executable model of the command and control system.

Chapter 5 shows that lower-level actors within firms have much to teach us about the gendered and classed impacts of regulation. The chapter analyses how staff working in commercial bingo experienced the shift from ‘command and control’ style regulation, underpinning the 1968 Gaming Act, to the current risk-based regime in the 2005 Gambling Act. Seeking to contribute a gendered angle to scholarship on the consequences of regulatory reform for occupational status and autonomy, the chapter examines the impact of self-regulation on commercial bingo hall managers—a mostly male, non-professional group of workers whose claims to status have relied heavily on state licensing procedures. By analysing the changing rules, practices, and feelings involved in personnel licensing within bingo halls, the chapter makes two interlinked claims. First, as the state stepped back from assessing and authorizing employee expertise, managerial authority, status, pay, and working conditions were all reduced. Second, the chapter identifies a classed and gendered desire for a return to command-and-control-style regulation.
