Method and system for testing the overspeed protection system of a turbomachine
Frederick William Block,Mark P. Bombard,Dell Anno Michael J,Garcia Guillermo,Eamon Patrick Gleeson,Leary Kenneth Lee,Richard Lee Nichols +6 more
- 26 Oct 2007
TL;DR: In this paper, an overspeed protection system on a turbomachine having at least one shaft has been proposed to determine whether a permissive or permissive (s) is satisfied (210,215,225); initiate an over speed test; automatically adjusting the speed of a shaft (235,240); determining if the speed exceeds an over-speed trip set point (120,255); and automatically disabling the automatic adjustment of the speed after the test is complete.

Systems and Methods For Dynamic Risk Derivation
Frederick William Block,Maria Cecilia Mazzaro,Pablo Enrique Acevedo Giraldi,Charles Scott Sealing,Atanu Talukdar,Mark Andrew Runkle +5 more
- 06 Nov 2012
TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic risk calculation engine (DRCE) is proposed to model a system, where the model library comprises a plurality of subsystem models, and each of the plurality of models is configured to derive a reliability measure.
