  • System for determining gas turbine firing and combustion reference temperature having correction for water content in combustion air
    Patent number: 6805483
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for adjusting a gas turbine firing temperature control algorithm and combustion reference temperature algorithms based on exhaust gas temperature, turbine pressure ratio and compressor discharge temperature for water content in the air entering the compressor differing from the design water content of ambient air. The water content in the ambient air is calculated by the control system from measured data from a dry bulb temperature sensor and a wet bulb temperature or humidity sensor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 25, 2003
    Date of Patent: October 19, 2004
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Leroy O. Tomlinson, Robert S. Garry
