  • Method for controlling the operation of a gas turbine with an averaged turbine outlet temperature
    Patent number: 10767569
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating a gas turbine having a compressor, a combustor, a turbine downstream of the combustor, and a total number of turbine outlet temperature measurements. The method includes locally measuring the turbine outlet temperature of the turbine with the turbine outlet temperature measurements of the respective turbine, and averaging measured temperatures of the selected turbine outlet temperature measurements to obtain an average turbine outlet temperature. The gas turbine operation is controlled depending on the determined average turbine outlet temperature.
