Abstract: A method for operating a supply assembly configured for supplying fuel gas and an inert purge media to a gas turbine combustor, the method including supplying fuel gas in a fuel gas circuit with an upper flow rate; reducing the fuel gas flow rate in the fuel gas circuit from the upper flow rate to a lower flow rate; stopping the supply of the fuel gas in the fuel gas circuit; and starting the supply of the inert purge media in the inert purge media circuit, wherein the starting is performed before the stopping to have a temporary parallel supply of fuel gas and of inert purge media to a fuel distribution system.

Abstract: A method is provided for switching over a gas turbine burner operation from liquid fuel to gas fuel and vice-versa, with the burner comprising nozzles for feeding a premixed gas fuel, nozzles for injecting a pilot gas fuel and nozzles for injecting a liquid fuel. According to the method, while the liquid fuel and the premix gas fuel are regulated to switch over from liquid fuel to gas fuel operation or vice-versa, the pilot gas fuel is controlled at a substantially constant flow rate.

Abstract: It is proposed a gas turbine and a method to operate the gas turbine. A fluid is supplied to the gas turbine by means of fluid paths. A first fluid path is divided into a second and third fluid path. A first control valve controls a fluid mass flow in the first fluid path. A second control valve controls a ratio of fluid mass flows in the second and third fluid paths.
