| 摘要 | The disclosure relates methods and related systems for controlling corona discharge in a combustion chamber without causing an arc strike. The methods can include measuring a baseline impedance of a circuit in electrical communication with an electrode, measuring an actual impedance of the circuit, determining an impedance setpoint based at least in part on the baseline impedance, comparing the actual impedance to the impedance setpoint, and adjusting the actual impedance based at least in part on the comparison between the actual impedance and the impedance setpoint. The electrode is arranged to deliver a corona discharge to the combustion chamber. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method of controlling a corona discharge in a combustion chamber without causing an arc strike, the method comprising: measuring, before corona discharge has begun, a baseline impedance of a circuit in electrical communication with an electrode the electrode arranged to deliver a corona discharge to the combustion chamber; measuring, during corona discharge, an actual impedance of the circuit; determining an impedance setpoint based at least in part on the baseline impedance; comparing the actual impedance to the impedance setpoint; and adjusting the actual impedance based at least in part on the comparison between the actual impedance and the impedance setpoint. | ||
