Definitions

  • the invention relates to a combustion chamber, in particular such a gas turbine, with at least two burners, which are connected via controllable fuel valves with a fuel supply.
  • Gas turbines are used, for example, for power generation in power plants, where they drive generators. Such turbines usually have a capacity of more than 50 MW and are designed especially for steady-state continuous operation. In order to operate the gas turbine economically and with low pollutant emissions, in particular NO x , this should on the one hand lean, that is with as little fuel, operated and on the other hand, extinction of the burner can be avoided because a restart of the gas turbine is complicated and expensive.
  • pulsation of the flame in the combustion chamber can occur, in particular in the case of lean operation of the gas turbine, which in the worst case leads to extinguishment of the same.
  • the pulsation of the flame depends on various parameters, such as an air and an associated fuel flow and a combustion chamber temperature.
  • a flame system is desired for the burner or the combustion chamber, which can be called stable and wherein in Brenneraustritts rejoin forms a quasi-stationary pulsation-free ignition zone, which burns stationary even with small fluctuations in the inlet flows, apart from turbulence-related stochastic position fluctuations.
  • the US 5,544,478 teaches to avoid pressure sensors for measuring combustion dynamics in a combustion chamber by examining the output of an optical measuring device, more specifically an ultraviolet radiation detector, by special signal processing for spectral acoustic frequency components. These frequency components are correct after the US 5,544,478 with dynamic pressure waves, which would be measured by means of a pressure sensor match, so that a pressure sensor can be saved. This makes it possible to detect a pulsation-prone burner.
  • a sensor system which comprises for each burner of a burner arrangement of a gas turbine each having a pressure sensor for detecting an amplitude of pressure pulsations in the combustion chamber of the gas turbine, which occur in the region of a respective pressure sensor associated burner.
  • the detected amplitudes or correlated measuring signals are then a control system supplied, which can control all or individual burners targeted via an operating system. As a result, pressure pulsations can be reduced.
  • the disclosed US Application 2005/056024 describes a solution for the anticipatory prevention of the extinction of the flame of a burner using acoustic and / or optical measurement methods for determining combustion parameters. Relevant combustion parameters are determined with the aid of the mentioned measuring methods and fed to an evaluation unit where they are analyzed according to different methods. If previously set limits are exceeded, a signal is generated to the control unit, which triggers suitable measures for restoring or maintaining required parameters of the combustion chamber in order to prevent the occurrence of dangerous combustion states in this way.
  • the invention deals with the problem of detecting at a combustor of a gas turbine of the type mentioned pulsation burner as early as possible and optionally take appropriate countermeasures, so that a pulsation-free operation of the combustion chamber can be ensured.
  • the invention is based on the general idea, in a combustion chamber, in particular in a combustor of a gas turbine, with multiple burners, to provide suitable measuring devices which determine burner-specific data, from which a computer and control device can calculate correlation values, a classification of burners in pulsationsgefährdete and not pulsating burner allowed. If the computer and control device classifies a burner as pulsation-endangered due to the values measured in the combustion chamber, then more fuel is supplied to this burner, thereby reducing its pulsation risk.
  • the burners themselves are connected to a fuel supply via controllable fuel valves.
  • the computer and control device In order to process the data arriving from the optical measuring devices and from the pressure sensor, the computer and control device is connected to these on the input side. On the output side, the computer and control device is connected to the controllable fuel valves, whereby a control of at least the pulsation-prone burner is made possible via a modified fuel supply.
  • the computer and control device is further designed such that it calculates a correlation from the chemiluminescent radiation values and the pressures and determines the burner or a combustion group with the highest correlation.
  • the associated fuel valves of the burners thus determined are then opened by the computer and control device, thereby reducing the pulsation tendency of the burners.
  • the combustion chamber according to the invention thus makes it possible to detect pulse-endangered, ie critical burners, at an early stage and to take suitable countermeasures.
  • the optical measuring devices and / or the pressure sensor and / or the fuel valves via a bus, such as a CAN-BUS, communicatively connected to the computer and control device.
  • a bus such as a CAN-BUS
  • Such CAN-BUS systems allow extensive data exchange and appropriate communication between the different, connected and interconnected components.
  • far-reaching networking possibilities are created with such CAN-BUS systems, so that it is also conceivable that further devices for the measurement, acquisition or processing of data as well as for controlling certain parameters of configured devices can be connected.
  • the optical measuring devices each have an optical fiber.
  • the space requirement of such an optical fiber in the combustion chamber is minimal, whereby this can also be installed in places with limited space.
  • a sensor of the optical measuring device is not directly exposed to the high temperatures prevailing in the combustion chamber, which has a positive effect on the life of the optical measuring devices.
  • FIG. 1 shows a highly schematic representation of a combustion chamber according to the invention with associated computer and control device.
  • Corresponding Fig. 1 has a highly schematic combustion chamber 1, for example, such a gas turbine, a plurality of burners A to H, which are connected via controllable fuel valves 2 with a fuel supply 3, for example, a fuel line.
  • a fuel supply 3 for example, a fuel line.
  • the number of burners A to H here eight, purely by way of example, so that a combustion chamber 1 with more than eight or less than eight, but at least two burners should be enclosed by the invention.
  • the burners A to H are arranged annularly in the illustrated embodiment and each have at least one optical measuring device 4 for detecting chemiluminescent radiation, in particular for detecting an OH chemiluminescence.
  • the optical measuring devices 4 are connected via corresponding signal lines 5, in particular via a CAN-BUS 8, with a computer and control device 6.
  • the fuel valves 2 connected via corresponding control lines 5 via the CAN-BUS 8 with the computer and control device 6.
  • the optical measuring devices 4 detect light generated in the combustion chamber 1 due to chemical reactions and, according to a preferred embodiment, comprise an optical fiber. The optical fiber thereby falls the task of the light pipe between the burner and the actual optical measuring device.
  • Such an optical fiber may, for example, be a glass fiber which conducts light signals from the burner to the optical measuring device 4.
  • This offers the advantages that the optical measuring device 4 itself does not have to be arranged directly on the burner and is therefore exposed only to a significantly reduced temperature load, and a required space requirement of the optical fiber is significantly lower than the optical measuring device 4, so that they also at low Space can be arranged at almost any location in the vicinity of the burner.
  • a pressure sensor 7 for detecting a pressure in the combustion chamber 1 is arranged and also connected via a corresponding signal line 5 'to an input side of the computer and control device 6.
  • the pressure sensors can also be connected to the computer and control device 6 via the CAN bus 8.
  • the computer and control device 6 is now designed such that it calculates a correlation between the chemiluminescent radiation of each burner A to H and the pressure in the combustion chamber 1 from the measured values arriving from the optical measuring devices 4 and the pressure sensor 7.
  • the computer and control device 6 is connected to the fuel valves 2 associated with each burner A to H.
  • the computer and control device 6 is designed such that it determines the burner or a burner group with the highest correlation between chemiluminescent radiation and combustion chamber pressure and the or the associated fuel valves controls such that the respective burner or the respective burner group more fuel is supplied.
  • the computer and control device 6 opens the respectively associated fuel valve.
  • a high correlation between the optical measured values and the combustion chamber pressure indicates a tendency to pulsate of the respective burner, which is to be reduced according to the invention. The pulsation of the flame on the one hand there is a risk that this extinguished and on the other hand reduces the efficiency of the gas turbine.
  • pulsation-endangered burners can thus be identified. It is conceivable that the computer and control device 6 controls only a single burner with the highest correlation value by opening the associated fuel valve or a whole group of burners, which lie with their respective correlation values above a threshold.
  • the summary of a burner group can either include, for example, the burner A and B, if these two have the two highest correlation values, or the burners can already be summarized in advance to certain groups, such as A, C, E and G, so that controlled them overall when only one of the said burners exceeds the correlation limit.
