Abstract: A method for operating a burner arrangement of a heat engine, particularly a gas turbine, having a plurality of burners, each having at least one pilot burner and main burner, in which method, on the basis of a preset operation of the heat engine, the total quantity of fuel supplied to the burners is maintained substantially constant in a load-controlled manner: in a first group of burners, for each burner, both the pilot burner as well as the main burner are supplied with fuel; in a second group of burners, the fuel supply to the main burners is interrupted, while the pilot burners continue to be operated; and the fuel quantity remaining as a result of the interruption of the fuel supply to the main burners of the second group is redistributed to the still active main burners of the first group. CO emissions are reduced as a result.

Abstract: An operating method for a gas turbine by partial-load operation, includes setting of a power setpoint value for a predefined temperature value; determining the two operating curves as a function of temperature according to the power of the gas turbine, wherein the power setpoint value is located between said operating curves; determining the difference in power of said two operating curves at the substantially constant predetermined temperature value; determining a power deviation from the predetermined power setpoint value of one of the two operating curves at the substantially constant predetermined temperature value; calculating an interpolated operating curve deviation on the basis of the difference in power and the power deviation, wherein the temperature is a turbine outlet temperature or a computationally determined turbine inlet temperature.
