  • METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE FUEL DISTRIBUTION AMONG DIFFERENT STAGES OF A GAS TURBINE COMBUSTION CHAMBER
    Publication number: 20160237916
    Abstract: A method of controlling the fuel distribution among different stages of a gas turbine combustion chamber is disclosed. The combustion chamber has at least two stages for fuel supply, and the fuel distribution between the stages is determined according to the load or one or more parameters indicative of the load. In reply to a fast load change being faster than a load change during a regular transient operation, the fuel distribution is determined according to an adjusted load or one or more parameters indicative of an adjusted load.
