- Project objectives
the developed virtual sensor digital twin (vs-dt) will use existing instrumentation predict rotor rim displacement that has been measured using non-standard instrumentation. the vs-dt will apply machine learning techniques which have been successfully applied to gas turbines to create a synthetic sensor with +/-5% accuracy.
the end goal of this project is to generalize, automate, and implement rotor rim displacement predictions using vs-dt for hydropower plants and to introduce advanced monitoring technologies as a launchpad for additional fleet modernization.
the developed vs-dt will seek to use existing instrumentation, such as air-gap sensors, shaft rotational speed, generator temperature, and generator shaft vibration. this will be coupled with machine learning techniques which have been successfully applied to gas turbines to create a synthetic sensor with +/-5% accuracy.
potential impact
successful development of a hydropower vs-dt would result in significant improvement of the monitoring and reliability of hydropower plants. while turbine logic has developed and deployed digital twins for gas turbine assets on a commercial basis, the disparity of hydropower amongst plants’ design and instrumentation creates a risk of entry without an existing proof-of-deployment (because it is more difficult to create a reference model that can be broadly applied). doe funding provides the resources necessary for this technological development and de-risking activity.
major participants
the project team comprises turbine logic, savannah state university, and the electric power research institute (epri). turbine logic is a small business focused on providing products and services to the energy industry that improve performance, reliability, and sustainability. epri is the world's preeminent independent, non-profit energy research and development organization, with offices around the world. savannah state university develops productive members of a global society through high quality instruction, scholarship, research, service and community involvement.
community benefits plan commitment and goals
the team will actively engage the savannah community through:
• hosting a hydropower industry forum with guest speakers form government, industry, and academia to expose career and research opportunities in hydropower.
• an industry review day will be held to allow direct engagement with student researchers participating on this project.

- Advanced mixed mode combustor for hydrogen f-class retrofit
this project is targeted toward developing technologies to utilize energy resources and power
infrastructure for net-zero carbon energy and commodity production through the production, transport,
storage, and utilization of hydrogen. advances in hydrogen technologies capable of improving
performance, reliability, and flexibility of existing and novel methods to produce, transport, store,
and use hydrogen will enable the united states to continue to extract maximum economic value from its
energy resources while eliminating the carbon footprint often associated with traditional energy
resources and achieve net-zero or even negative emissions. this project will develop and test a
retrofittable f-class staged combustor module with fuel capability ranging from 100% natural gas to
levels up to 100% hydrogen. the broader goal is to provide customers with retrofit options that will
allow them to transition their f-class gas turbine assets (the largest fleet in the united states
with over 1,500 units) to hydrogen fuels with lower carbon dioxide emissions while maintaining
nitrogen oxide levels and overall gas turbine performance.
