Abstract: A method of controlling a combustor of a gas turbine engine, the method comprising the steps
supplying a total fuel quantity to the combustor dependent on a load of the gas turbine engine, the total fuel quantity is split into a pilot fuel quantity and a main fuel quantity via a scheduled pilot fuel split, the pilot fuel split is the percentage of the pilot fuel quantity of the total fuel quantity,
monitoring combustion instability,
applying a steady state active pilot split offset to the scheduled pilot fuel split when a predetermined temperature of the combustor is exceeded and/or a predetermined value of combustion instability is exceeded to create a steady state pilot fuel split,
monitoring a condition of the gas turbine engine that influences an air/fuel ratio in the combustor,
disabling the steady state active pilot split offset when the condition of the gas turbine engine is indicative of a transient condition and when a threshold value of combustion instability is exceeded, and
applying a transient active pilot split offset to the steady state pilot fuel split while maintaining the total fuel quantity being supplied at any point in time, the transient active pilot split offset and the steady state active pilot split offset result in a total split offset,
the total split offset being greater than the steady state active pilot split offset and the rate of change of the transient active pilot split offset is faster than the rate of change of the steady state active pilot split offset.-

Abstract: A fuel injector for a turbine engine includes a fuel scheduling valve configured for regulation of fuel flow from a fuel inlet, in response to fuel pressure received at the fuel inlet. Primary, secondary and auxiliary fuel circuits receive fuel from the scheduling valve, and an electrically-controlled valve is provided in fluid communication with the auxiliary circuit, which electrically-controlled valve is adapted and configured to actively control fuel through the auxiliary circuit in response to a control signal. The auxiliary fuel circuit joins with the secondary fuel circuit for delivery to a fuel nozzle.

Abstract: A fuel system includes a fuel supply system. A plurality of fuel nozzles are connected in fluid communication with the fuel supply system to supply fuel from a fuel source to be issued for combustion from the fuel nozzles. A cooling system is included, wherein at least one of the fuel nozzles includes a cooling circuit in addition to a fuel circuit for issuing fuel from the fuel supply system for combustion. The cooling circuit includes an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is in fluid communication with the cooling system for circulation of coolant through the cooling circuit and back to the cooling system out the outlet of the cooling circuit for cooling the fuel circuit with the fuel circuit staged off.

Abstract: A method for controlling a combustion process in a gas turbine wherein a combustion chamber, a control device storing a calculation model of the combustion process, and an exhaust air measurement device are used. A permissible limit value for nitrogen oxides and for carbon monoxide as pollutants is set. The actual value of at least one of the two pollutants is measured continuously in the exhaust air. When a signal to reduce the power of the gas turbine to a lowest possible value is given, then a minimum fuel supply at which the limit values are complied with is calculated. The fuel supply is then reduced either until the calculated minimum fuel supply is reached or until the continuously measured proportion of the pollutant reaches the permissible limit value.

Abstract: A loading/unloading method for a gas turbine system is disclosed. The gas turbine system includes a combustion section featuring a primary combustion stage with a first plurality of fuel nozzles and a downstream, secondary combustion stage with a second plurality of fuel nozzles. For loading, the method progresses through each of a plurality of progressive combustion modes that sequentially activate a higher number of at least one of the first or second plurality of fuel nozzles; and for unloading, the method progresses through each of a plurality of progressive combustion modes that sequentially activate a lower number of at least one of the first or second plurality of fuel nozzles. During each combustion mode, regardless of whether loading or unloading, a primary combustion stage exit temperature of a combustion gas flow is controlled to be within a predefined target range corresponding to the respective combustion mode.
