FLAME INSTABILITY DETECTOR

摘要

Systems and methods for detecting an instability associated with at least one burner are disclosed. A detector measures a signal associated with a characteristic of the at least one burner. The signal is converted to a time-varying signal spectrum using at least one processor. An instability is detected based at least in part on the time-varying signal spectrum. The instability can be detected based on an instability indicator calculated based at least in part on the time-varying signal spectrum. A threshold can be associated with the instability indicator such that an instability is detected when the instability indicator is greater than the threshold.

1. A method for detecting an instability associated with a at least one burner, comprising:
obtaining a signal from a detector, the detector measuring at least one characteristic associated with a at least one burner; converting, using at least one processor, the signal into a time-varying signal spectrum; and detecting, based at least in part on the time-varying signal spectrum, an instability associated with the at least one burner.
