Abstract: An embodiment includes a power production system having a compressor system compressing a fluid. The system further includes a combustor system combusting compressed fluid and a fuel. The system additionally includes a turbine system configured produce power and an exhaust stream and a first exhaust processing system fluidly coupled to the turbine system and configured to receive the exhaust stream. The system also includes a first bleed system fluidly coupled to a first location in the compressor system, to a second location downstream of the compressor system and upstream of the first exhaust processing system, to a third location in the first exhaust processing system, to a fourth location downstream of the first exhaust processing system, or a combination thereof, and configured to redirect a first compressor extraction from the first location to the second location, to the third location, to the fourth location, or to the combination thereof.

Abstract: A control system for a gas turbine includes a controller. The controller includes a processor configured to access an operational parameter associated with the gas turbine. The processor is configured to calculate a bias based on the operational parameter, wherein the bias indicates an amount of change in a temperature of an oxidant entering a compressor of the turbine to reach a reference temperature. The processor is further configured to control the temperature of the oxidant based on the bias to improve power output of the gas turbine.

Abstract: A system, including a turbine fluid supply system, including a fuel supply assembly, including a first fuel supply configured to supply a first fuel to a gas turbine engine; and a second fuel supply configured to supply a second fuel to the gas turbine engine, wherein the first fuel has a greater carbon content than the second fuel, and a diluent supply assembly comprising at least one diluent supply configured to supply at least one diluent to the gas turbine engine; and a controller having instructions to control the first fuel supply, the second fuel supply, or the at least one diluent supply to adjust a percentage of carbon in a combustor of the gas turbine engine to maintain a ratio of carbonaceous emissions in an exhaust gas per unit of energy produced by the gas turbine engine at or below a threshold ratio.

Abstract: A method of assembling a feed injector is provided. The method includes providing a feed injector tip that includes an inlet, a tip end, a flow passage that extends longitudinally through the feed injector tip from the inlet to the tip end, an annular cooling channel that substantially circumscribes the flow passage, and a buffer region that separates the annular cooling channel from the flow passage. The method further includes coupling the feed injector tip to the feed injector to enable a fluid to be channeled through the flow passage, such that the fluid flows past the inlet, at which the buffer region has a first width, before flowing past the tip end, at which the buffer region has a second width, the first width wider than the second width, and coupling a cooling assembly to the feed injector to enable a flow of cooling fluid to be channeled into the annular cooling channel.
