  • METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A GAS TURBINE OPERATION WITH SELECTED TURBINE OUTLET TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
    Publication number: 20170211487
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a method for operating a gas turbine having a compressor, a combustor, a turbine downstream of the combustor, and a total number of turbine outlet temperature measurement sensors. The method can include supplying a first fuel flow to one of the burners of one combustor, which is smaller than a second fuel flow to another one of the burners the same combustor, selecting a number of turbine outlet temperature measurements which is smaller than a total number of the turbine outlet temperature measurement sensors, and averaging measured temperatures of the selected turbine outlet temperature measurements to obtain an trimmed turbine outlet temperature which is used for controlling operation of the gas turbine.
