Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for tuning combustion dynamics in a combustor. In one embodiment of the disclosure, a method includes providing, via at least one sensor, combustion dynamics amplitude data associated with a combustor. Method may allow monitoring, by an equipment controller communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor, the combustion dynamics amplitude data. The method may allow detecting at least one change in acoustic pressure amplitude associated with combustion in the combustor. In response to detecting the change in the acoustic pressure amplitude, the method proceeds with determining a fuel split change to at least two fuel circuits configured to supply fuel to the combustor, and applying the fuel split change to the combustor.

Abstract: A system is provided. The system includes a combustor assembly that receives a fuel flow. The system includes a pressure sensor disposed within the combustor assembly that measures a pressure of the fuel flow from a fuel supply to a fuel nozzle of the combustor assembly. The system includes a controller communicatively coupled to the pressure sensor. The controller is configured to receive a pressure measurement from the pressure sensor. The pressure measurement is a current operating parameter of the combustor assembly. The controller is configured to determine a predicted fuel flow based at least in part on the pressure measurement, determine a fuel composition factor based on a comparison of the predicted fuel flow with a commanded fuel flow, and adjust control of the combustor assembly based on the fuel composition factor. The fuel composition factor is indicative of a change in a fuel composition of the fuel flow.
