  • Method for operating a gas turbine and gas turbine unit useful for carrying out the method
    Patent number: 9920696
    Abstract: A method for operating a gas turbine (11) having a compressor (12), a turbine (14) and a combustor (13) with a pilot burner group (15a), a rich premix burner group (15b) and a lean premix burner group (15c), under changing composition of the incoming fuel gas (16), includes the steps of: continuously measuring, in real time, the composition of the fuel gas (16); and controlling the operation of the gas turbine (11) and the combustion of the burners (15a-c) by using the real time fuel gas composition measurements.

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPERATING A COMBUSTION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20160326955
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of combustion technology related to gas turbines. More in particular, the present invention refers to a method for operating a combustion device. Advantageously, a pulsation protective load shedding is avoided by adjusting the parameter ? in case of too high combustion pulsation levels from the standard operation set point. This implies that the dynamic pulsation control logic is activated in case the high frequency pulsation level exceeds a predetermined threshold value and a control unit adjusts the ?, preferably in a stepwise manner, until acceptable and optimum pulsation levels are reached or a maximum reduction of the ? is performed.
