Abstract
A system for testing a rotary machine includes a variable load coupled to a shaft driven by the rotary machine, and a controller configured to regulate the rotary machine and the variable load in a closed loop. A variation in a load value of the variable load causes a variation in a power produced by the rotary machine. The controller is further configured to determine a response time required for the power produced by the rotary machine and a power consumed by the variable load to be balanced.

A system for testing a rotary machine, said system comprising:
- a variable load coupled to a shaft driven by the rotary machine;
- and
- a controller configured to regulate the rotary machine and said variable load in a closed loop such that a variation in a load value of said variable load causes a variation in a power produced by the rotary machine, said controller is further configured to determine a response time required for the power produced by the rotary machine and a power consumed by said variable load to be balanced.
A method for testing a rotary machine, said method comprising:
- coupling a variable load to a shaft driven by the rotary machine;
- regulating the rotary machine and the variable load in a closed loop such that a variation in a load value of the variable load causes a variation in a power produced by the rotary machine;
- and
- determining a response time required for the power produced by the rotary machine and a power consumed by the variable load to be balanced.
