MULTI-SPOOL ENGINE ELECTRICAL LOAD BALANCING TO OPTIMIZE FUEL BURN BASED ON AMBIENT AND SYSTEM THERMAL CONDITIONS

원문 (중국어)

A first electrical machine is configured to act as an electrical motor in a first mode and an electrical generator in a second mode. Each first electrical machine is associated with a high-pressure spool of a turbine engine. A first controller is configured to control a load level of the first electrical machine responsive to a first load level control signal. A second electrical machine is configured to act as an electrical motor in the first mode and as an electrical generator in the second mode. The second electrical machine is associated with a low-pressure spool of the turbine engine. A second controller is configured to control a load level of the second electrical machine responsive to a second load level control signal. A third controller is configured to generate the first load level control signal and the second load level control signal responsive to temperatures of the first electrical machine, the first controller, the second electrical machine, and the second controller.
