Abstract: A system includes a gas turbine engine having a combustor, and a fuel blending system. The fuel blending system further includes a first fuel supply configured to supply a first fuel, a second fuel supply configured to supply a second fuel, a first fuel circuit, a second fuel circuit, and a controller. The first fuel circuit may be configured to blend the first fuel and the second fuel to form a first to form a first fuel mixture. The second fuel circuit may be configured to blend the first fuel and the second fuel to form a second fuel mixture. The controller may be configured to regulate blending of the first fuel mixture and the second fuel mixture based on a measured operating parameter of the combustor.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for blending a fuel for use in a gas turbine are disclosed. A measurement of a heating value of a process gas and a measurement of a molecular weight of the process gas is obtained. An estimate of a composition of the process gas is obtained using the obtained measurement of the heating value and the obtained measurement of the molecular weight. A blending ratio of the process gas and a natural gas is selected based on the estimate of the composition of the process gas. The process gas and the natural gas are then blended according to the selected blending ratio to obtain a fuel mixture for use in the gas turbine.
