Control system for a land-based simple cycle hybrid engine for power generation

摘要

A pulse detonation combustor (PDC)-based hybrid engine control system includes a programmable controller directed by algorithmic software to control a rotational shaft speed of the PDC-based hybrid engine, an air inlet valve rotational speed for the PDC, and a fuel fill time period for the PDC in response to a corresponding low pressure turbine (LPT) shaft speed signal or a power difference signal based on a difference between desired power and actual power produced by the PDC-based hybrid engine and further in response to a fuel fill time signal for the PDC, such that a desired fuel fill fraction and stoichiometric ratio are maintained and further such that a mass air flowrate from an air compressor matches a mass air flowrate ingested via the PDC while the PDC-based hybrid engine is operating in an acceleration mode or a deceleration mode.
