METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO FACILITATE OVER-SPEED PROTECTION

An over-speed protection system (40) for a gas turbine engine (10) including a rotor is provided. The over-speed protection system includes a fuel throttling/shutoff valve (50) coupled to a fuel supply coupled to the gas turbine engine, a first fuel system interface (56) (FSI-1) coupled to the fuel...

Zusammenfassung:An over-speed protection system (40) for a gas turbine engine (10) including a rotor is provided. The over-speed protection system includes a fuel throttling/shutoff valve (50) coupled to a fuel supply coupled to the gas turbine engine, a first fuel system interface (56) (FSI-1) coupled to the fuel throttling/shutoff valve, a second fuel system interface (58) (FSI-2) coupled to the FSI-1, a first control system (102) coupled to the FSI-1 and to the FSI-2, the first control system including a first driver A (106) and a second driver A (108), the first control system programmed with a first logic algorithm and a second logic algorithm, and a second control system (104) coupled to the FSI-1 and the FSI-2, the second control system including a first driver B (110) and a second driver B (112), the second control system programmed with the first logic algorithm and the second logic algorithm.
