  • Burner for a gas turbine and method for operating the burner
    Patent number: 11274609
    Abstract: A burner with a control unit, a combustion chamber, a pressure sensor and fuel stages which are arranged to supply fuel with a respective mass flow to the combustion chamber, wherein the mass flows are controlled by the control unit, wherein the pressure sensor is adapted to measure a pressure sequence in the combustion chamber or in the burner and to transfer the pressure sequence to the control unit which is adapted to perform a Fourier transformation on at least one determined timespan of the pressure sequence to result in a pressure spectrum having a maximum within a frequency band and wherein the control unit is adapted to perform a comparison of the maximum with a predefined threshold and to control the mass flows by using the comparison to reduce and/or to control pressure fluctuations in the combustion chamber.
