    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclose relate to a system of distributing fuel gas. The system of distributing fuel gas includes a vaporizer and compression system (VCS). The VCS includes a vaporizer, a compressor configured to produce compressed fuel gas (CFG) from LFG, and a mounting base. The vaporizer includes a fuel gas inlet configured to provide LFG to the vaporizer from a LFG source, and a fuel gas outlet. The compressor includes a distribution outlet, an exhaust, and a fan. The fan is configured to flow air and gas emitted from the exhaust toward the vaporizer. The vaporizer and the compressor are disposed on the mounting base.

    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 delivery system for a combustor of a gas turbine engine including a primary fuel tank configured to store a primary fuel, a secondary fuel tank configured to store a secondary fuel, a swirler configured to produce a main flame within a combustion chamber of the combustor, and a fuel nozzle configured to produce a pilot flame within the combustion chamber of the combustor. The fuel nozzle includes a nozzle outlet that is located proximate to an end of the swirler or at the end of the swirler, the end of the swirler being located at an inlet of the combustor. The fuel delivery system also includes a primary fuel line fluidly connecting the primary fuel tank to the fuel nozzle and a secondary fuel line fluidly connecting the secondary fuel tank to the swirler.

    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.
