Abstract: Method and system for transitioning from a first liquid fuel supplied to a combustor of a gas turbine system to a second liquid fuel supplied to the combustor utilizing a fuel pump configured to supply both fuels from the fuel pump during the transition without shutting down the gas turbine system. Through utilizing a fuel pump and adjusting the operation of the fuel pump during the transition, the additional costs, size, and operational complexity associated with multiple liquid fuel trains to facilitate operation of the gas turbine system with multiple liquid fuels may be avoided. The utilization of multiple liquid fuels during operation of a gas turbine system increase the operational flexibility of the gas turbine system by enabling the utilization of varied liquid fuel sources and/or local liquid fuel sources during a steady-state operation, yet utilizing standardized fuel sources for startup or shutdown procedures.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a gas turbine fluid wash system includes a fluid wash system controller comprising a processor. The processor is configured to receive a cleaning fluid flow demand from a turbine system controller, wherein the turbine system controller is configured to control the turbine system to produce power. The processor is additionally configured to provide a cleaning fluid flow based on the cleaning fluid flow demand transmitted by the turbine system controller.
