Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for controlling a gas turbine, operating with an integral fuel reactivity measurement concept. In order to fast determine a safe operation range of the gas turbine with respect to flashback and blow-out, the method includes deducing the fuel composition and therefore the fuel reactivity by combined measurements of (n−1) physico-chemical properties of a fuel mixture with n>1 fuel components, for deriving the concentration of one component for each physico-chemical property of the fuel gas mixture or for determining of a ratio of the fuels with known compositions and adjusting at least one operation parameter of the gas turbine at least partially based on the determined property of the fuel gas mixture entering the combustors. With the technical solution of the present invention, by way of detecting fast changes in fuel gas, it is assured that the gas turbine may operate with varieties of fuel gas under optimized performance and in safe operation ranges. In actual applications, the present invention may improve flexibility of gas turbines and cost effectiveness of operation of the gas turbines.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating a gas turbine, in which an oxygen-reduced gas and fresh air are delivered to a compressor of the gas turbine in a radially staged manner, the fresh air being delivered via an outer sector of the inlet cross section in relation to the axis of rotation of the compressor, and the oxygen-reduced gas being delivered via an inner sector of the inlet cross section in relation to the axis of rotation of the compressor.The invention relates, further, to a gas turbine power plant with a gas turbine having a compressor inlet which is followed by the flow duct of the compressor and which is divided into an inner sector and an outer sector, a feed for an oxygen-reduced gas being connected to the inner sector of the compressor inlet, and a fresh air feed being connected to the outer sector of the compressor inlet.
