Abstract:
A gas turbine has a compressor providing compressed air, a combustion chamber provided with a burner, and an expansion turbine, wherein a bypass flow channel is also provided designed to supply compressed air past the burner and to supply a hot gas flow generated in the combustion chamber during operation of the gas turbine. The opening cross section of the bypass flow channel can be adjusted, and an adjustment unit is designed to adjust the opening cross section of the bypass flow channel such that the modification speed of the opening cross section is selected such that the relative combustion chamber pressure drop or a material temperature of the combustion chamber is substantially constant, in particular that the relative combustion chamber pressure drop or the material temperature of the combustion chamber does not vary by more than 10%.
Abstract:
A gas turbine includes an intake tract and a compressor having a compressor flow channel. The compressor further includes an inlet guide vane row positioned in the compressor flow channel having inlet guide vanes that can be adjusted. The gas turbine has an icing sensor unit having at least one sensor arranged between a first compressor blade row and a first compressor guide vane row. The first compressor blade row is thereby arranged in the compressor flow channel directly downstream of the inlet guide vane row, and the first compressor guide vane row is arranged directly downstream of the first compressor blade row. A method detects an imminent icing of the compressor, and the compressor is safeguarded therefrom such that at least inlet guide vanes of the inlet guide vane row are adjusted such that the acceleration of an intake air mass flow is reduced.
Abstract:
A method for operating a gas turbine below the nominal power includes: determining a lower power threshold value of the gas turbine which causes the gas turbine to leave a CO-emission-compliant partial load range of the gas turbine; providing a specified threshold value for output gas turbine power, wherein the specified threshold value is less than the nominal power of the gas turbine; and operating the gas turbine at an output gas turbine power above the specified threshold value at a constant exhaust gas temperature, wherein the inlet guide blades of a compressor of the gas turbine are closed further in order to reduce the output gas turbine power. A sufficiently large valve is selected for the specified threshold value so that increases of the primary zone temperature, combustion temperature, and exhaust temperature extend over a CO-emission-compliant partial load range of the gas turbine that is as large as possible.
Abstract:
A method for supplying an excitation current to an excitation winding of a rotor of a three-phase generator of a system for producing a three-phase alternating voltage to be fed into a power network. A pulsed excitation current is supplied to the excitation winding if a rotational frequency of the rotor deviates from a network frequency of the power network.
