Publication number: 20160010566Abstract: A method for operating a gas turbine below its rated power, in which CO emissions in the exhaust gas of the gas turbine increase with a reduction of the output gas turbine power, wherein, if a predefined threshold value, which can be selected as desired, for the CO emissions is reached or if a predefined threshold value, specified in relative or absolute terms, for the output gas turbine power is undershot, the combustion temperature in the combustion chamber of the gas turbine is increased. To operate the gas turbine with low emissions, for a constant power output, the exhaust-gas temperature increase generated at the outlet of the gas turbine as a result of the combustion temperature increase is at least partially compensated through the addition of a liquid or vaporous medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2014Publication date: January 14, 2016Applicant: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Andreas Bottcher, Eberhard Deuker, Andre Kluge, Philipp Kreutzer, Marco Link, Ansgar Sternemann, Marc Tertilt, Martin Wilke
