Title: Ordered processing of groups of messages
Inventor: SERRANO MARTIN ANTHONY
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2011-10-13
Abstract: A highly parallel, asynchronous data flow processing system in which processing is represented by a directed graph model, can include processing nodes that generate, and process, groups of dependent messages and that process messages within such groups in order. Other messages can be processed in whatever order they are received by a processing node. To identify a group of dependent messages, message identifiers are applied to a message. When a group of messages is to be processed by a processing node in order, the processing node maintains a buffer in which messages in the group are stored. When a message is received, it is determined whether all messages within the group have been received. When all of the messages within the group have been received, the processing node can process the messages in order.

Title: Method for operating a combined gas and steam turbine system, gas and steam turbine system for carrying out said method, and corresponding control device
Inventor: BRUCKNER JAN
IPC: F22B35/10
Filed: 2011-10-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a combined gas and steam turbine system comprising a gas turbine (GT), a waste heat steam generator which is located downstream of the gas turbine (GT) in the direction of flow of the exhaust gas or fuel gas and includes at least one evaporator heating area (6) through which a moving fluid can flow, and a steam turbine (DT) which is located downstream of the waste heat steam generator in the direction of flow of the moving fluid. The moving fluid is fed to the waste heat steam generator in the form of feed water, a primary control loop being provided for predictively controlling the feed water flow rate. Taking into account the heat stored in the components in the evaporator heating area, a primary desired value for the feed water flow rate is determined on the basis of a desired overheating value that is characteristic of the temperature by which the moving fluid exceeds its boiling point as the moving fluid exits the evaporator heating area (6) and on the basis of a heat flow parameter that is characteristic of the heat flow transferred from the fuel gas to the moving fluid via the evaporator heating area (6), and the feed water flow rate is adjusted accordingly. The proposed method is characterized in that the desired overheating value is lowered from a normal value defined for the stationary operation of the gas and steam turbine system at a comparatively high efficiency to a smaller activation value in order to activate a temporarily available instantaneous power reserve.
