Gas turbine apparatus

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5071650
A gas turbine apparatus of the premixed fuel combustion type for driving a gas turbine is described, comprising: a combustion chamber for burning fuels to produce a high temperature gas for driving the gas turbine, the combustion chamber having fuel-air premixing chambers; fuel supply systems for supplying fuels to the combustion chamber, each fuel supply system being connected to a respective one of the fuel-air premixing chambers; means for mixing the fuels supplied from the fuel supply systems with high pressure air; means for detecting the temperature of the high temperature gas; means for determining the load of the gas turbine based on the detected temperature of the high temperature gas; a pressure sensor operatively connected to the combustion chamber for detecting vibration in the combustion chamber; means for sampling gas exhausted from the gas turbine; means for analyzing the content of nitrogen oxides (NO/sub x/) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the gas exhausted from the gas turbine, means for controlling the supply of fuels from the plurality of fuel supply systems in response to the determined gas turbine load.
