  • Patent number: 12218510
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide load sharing for maintaining a stable operation of a group of electrical power generators in different load sharing scenarios. Over an interconnect bus, a controller of a gas-turbine generator (GTG) receives an indication of power generated in a set of GTGs (including the GTG) that are part of a power network, and an indication of a status change of the power network. Based on the status change and the power generated, the controller of the GTG determines whether a change in power generated by the power network is to occur and a new power level to be generated by the GTG.

  • Publication number: 20220389876
    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.
