Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a system and method for improving combustion stability in a gas turbine combustor.
  • Diffusion type nozzles where fuel is mixed with air external to the fuel nozzle by diffusion, proximate the flame zone. Diffusion type nozzles have been known to produce high emissions due to the fact that the fuel and air burn stoichiometrically at high temperature to maintain adequate combustor stability and low combustion dynamics.
  • An enhancement in combustion technology is the utilization of premixing, such that the fuel and air mix prior to combustion to form a homogeneous mixture that burns at a lower temperature than a diffusion type flame and produces lower NOx emissions.
  • premixing fuel and air together before combustion allows for the fuel and air to form a more homogeneous mixture, which for a given combustor exit temperature will burn at lower peak temperatures, resulting in lower emissions.
  • Example of such a gas turbine flamesheet combustion system with reduced emissions and improved flame stability at multiple load conditions is disclosed in US patent application US2004/0211186A1
  • thermoacoustics of the flamesheet combustors could still lead to instability modes (such as pulsation), which could restrict the operation window.
  • aerodynamics of the burner allows occasional flame attachment in the mixing zone under certain circumstances, causing flashback and overheating risk.
  • current fuel staging strategies could cause asymmetrical heat load on the combustor liner, which could lead to creep problems.
  • measure which help against pulsation as for example the staging of 1/3-2/3 groups in the main fuel supply can lead to asymmetrical liner heat loading, as well as to non-uniformities in the combustor exit temperature profile.
