This paper presents a method for improvement of communication speed and reduction of data storage space in gas turbine monitoring system to acquire, save, and display combustion vibration data. The proposed method implements FFT from sampled raw data. The FFT result data are encoded to be transferred to monitoring PC for storage. By this way, it can reduce data storage space. To display the received data, it needs inverse FFT to reconstruct original signal. To verify the validity and efficiency of the proposed scheme, computer-aided simulation are carried out. It includes the analyzed results the relationship between FFT's order and Gibb's Phenomenon. Finally, high-performance of the proposed method is proved by combustion experiment results using a prototype gas turbine.

최근 내연 기관에서 엔진상태 및 잠재적인 결함의 발견을 위해 연료분사, 실린더 내 연소과정, 실린더 내부와 피스톤 마모상태, 흡 배기 밸브 및 과급기 (turbocharger) 등의 상태 모니터링을 통해서 결함에 대한 진단 및 경향관리에 대한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기 개발된 선박용 대형디젤엔진에 대한 상시 모니터링 시스템을 이용하여 엔진상태 및 잠재적인 결함을 진단하고자 하였으며, 일차적으로 가속도 신호를 이용하여 실린더 내 연소과정에서 정상적인 상태와 착화실패에 따른 진동 양상을 비교 분석하였다. 신호 분석 기법으로 시간-주파수 분산 기법들은 충격파 신호인 엔진 폭발신호를 분석하는데 적합하였으며, 그 기법들 중 Short Time Fourier Transform 기법과 Wavelet Transform 기법을 이용하였다.

The abnormal combustion in the running engine results to knocking which increases the pressure and temperature in the cylinder, thereby decreasing the generated power by reducing the thermal efficiency. When the temperature and pressure in the cylinder increased rapidly by knocking, abnormal combustion takes place and the engine power is decreased. To investigate the knocking phenomenon, accelerometers are installed in the cylinder head to monitor and diagnose the vibration signal. As method of signal analysis, the time-frequency analysis method was adapted for acquisition of vibration signal and analyzes engine combustion in the short time. In this experiment, after analyzing time data which is stored in the signal recorder in one unit work (4 strokes: 2 revolutions), the signal with frequency and Wavelet methods with extracted one engine combustion data was also analyzed. Then, normal condition with no knocking signal is analyzed at this time. Hereafter, the experiments made a standard for distinguishing normal and abnormal condition to be carried out in acquisition of vibration signal at all cylinders and extracting knocking signal. In addition, analyzing methods can be diverse with Symmetry Dot Patterns (SDP), Time Synchronous Average (TSA), Wigner-Ville Distribution (WVD), Wigner-Ville Spectrum (WVS) and Mean Instantaneous Power (MIP) in the cold test [2]. With signal processing of vibration from engine knocking sensor, the authors adapted a part of engine /rotor vibration analysis and monitoring system for marine vessels to prevent several problems due to engine knocking
