Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an engine ignition, monitoring method and system of a gas turbine engine combustor.SOLUTION: The combustor 102 includes a casing 104 surrounding a combustion zone 106 and an igniter plug 108 including a tip 110, a base 112, and a body 114 extending therebetween. The body extends through the combustor casing such that the tip is proximate the combustion zone. The igniter plug is configured to receive ignition energy through the base and generate an ignition source 116 at the tip. The igniter plug is further configured to sense combustion dynamics in the combustion zone and generate a signal relative to the sensed combustion dynamics.
