Recovering speed in driveline assembly

摘要

Aspects of the disclosure include apparatuses and program products for recovering speed in a driveline assembly. An apparatus in one embodiment may include: a sensor measuring a shaft speed of a rotatable shaft within a driveline assembly, wherein the driveline assembly includes: a load coupled to the rotatable shaft, a primary power source coupled to the load through the rotatable shaft to deliver a first power output to the load, and a secondary power source coupled to the load through the rotatable shaft to deliver a second power output to the load, wherein the second power output is less than the first power output; and a controller in communication with the secondary power source and the sensor, wherein the controller increases the second power output in response to the shaft speed being less than a minimum speed threshold.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a sensor measuring a shaft speed of a rotatable shaft within a driveline assembly, wherein the driveline assembly includes:
a load coupled to the rotatable shaft,a gas turbine coupled to the load through the rotatable shaft to deliver a first power output to the load, anda motor coupled to the load through the rotatable shaft to deliver a second power output to the load, wherein the second power output is less than the first power output; and a controller in communication with the motor and the sensor, wherein the controller increases the second power output based on an operating characteristic of the driveline assembly in response to the shaft speed being less than a minimum speed threshold, wherein the operating characteristic of the driveline assembly includes one of a fuel intake of the gas turbine, an exhaust temperature of the gas turbine, and a deceleration of the rotatable shaft.
