  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCTION OF COMBUSTOR DYNAMIC PRESSURE DURING OPERATION OF GAS TURBINE ENGINES
    Publication number: 20050144955
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for operating a gas turbine engine without sustained detrimental levels of dynamic pressure are provided. The engine includes a combustor. The method includes determining the combustor acoustic level amplitude, comparing the acoustic level to a predetermined upper acoustic limit, and adjusting a fuel flow distribution to the combustor using a closed loop controller to facilitate reducing the acoustic level to a predetermined lower acoustic limit that is less than the upper acoustic limit.
