Volt

A unit of measurement for voltage, which is the electrical force or pressure pushing electrons through a conductor.

Variable inlet guide vanes (VIGV)

A component of a gas turbine comprising adjustable blades at the entrance of a compressor. The VIGV control airflow by changing their angle with engine speed and load to direct air to the compressor blades with precision, which prevents instability and boosts efficiency.

Vibration (VIB)

Unwanted oscillatory motion caused by unbalanced parts or other issues in the gas turbine, which reduces efficiency, strains components, causes wear, and can lead to mechanical failures.

Variable bleed valve (VBV)

A component of a gas turbine that controls airflow by releasing excess air from the low-pressure compressor (LPC) to prevent the engine from stalling, especially at low power or speed conditions.
