A gas turbine having a combustion chamber with exhaust section through which combustion gas is exhaustable, plenum chamber and compressor are provided. The plenum chamber is coupled to the compressor wherein a first quantity of compressed fluid is injectable therein at a radially inner wall of the plenum chamber. A guide vane section with at least one airfoil is coupled to the exhaust section so combustion gas is flowable against the airfoil. The exhaust section and guide vane section are housed inside the plenum chamber. The airfoil has a first flow chamber where a second quantity of compressed fluid is flowable through the guide vane section from the compressor in the direction from the inner wall to a outer wall of the plenum chamber before being discharged. The second quantity of compressed fluid streamable through the guide vane section is larger than the first quantity of the compressed fluid.

A nozzle tip for a premix fuel nozzle includes an outer body having an outer body external face facing the downstream end of the burner tube, the outer body external face having a smaller cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional area of the burner tube; and at least one segment radiating radially outwardly toward the internal wall of the burner tube from the outer body, wherein each segment has a proximal end disposed adjacent to the outer body external face and a distal end disposed in a direction toward the burner tube, wherein each segment has a segment downstream face angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the burner tube towards the downstream end of the burner tube. When the gas turbine is in operation, an axial flow field of an air and fuel mixture flows through the burner tube and around the nozzle tip, and two or more recirculation zones of differing radial extent are generated on the nozzle tip by the segments to provide strong flame holding and flame propagation.

A fuel injector cover is provided. The fuel injector cover includes a top wall and a plurality of side walls projecting from the top wall and partially defining an open bottom opposite the top wall. The open bottom is sized to receive a fuel injector therein. The fuel injector cover also includes an array of flow apertures formed in at least one of the top wall and the side walls to facilitate gas flow into the cover through the flow apertures.

A compressor adapted for use in a gas turbine engine includes an impeller, a diffuser, and a deswirler. The impeller is arranged circumferentially about an axis and configured to rotate about the axis. The diffuser is arranged circumferentially around the impeller to receive the air from the impeller. The deswirler is configured to receive the air from the diffuser and to conduct the air into a combustion chamber.

A turbine vane includes a blade body and a shroud. The shroud includes a gas path surface, a front end surface, a front end corner portion which is a corner portion between the gas path surface and the front end surface, a cavity defining surface which defines a cavity allowing cooling air to flow thereinto, a first air passage in which the cooling air flows, and a second air passage in which the cooling air flows. The first air passage includes a first inlet opened at the cavity defining surface and a first outlet opened at the front end corner portion. The second air passage includes a second inlet opened at the cavity defining surface and a second outlet opened at the front end surface.

A method includes combusting a fuel and an oxidant in a combustor of an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) gas turbine system that produces electrical power and provides a portion of the electrical power to an electrical grid. The method further includes controlling, via one or more processors, one or more parameters of the EGR gas turbine system to decrease the portion of the electrical power provided to the electrical grid in response to an over-frequency event associated with the electrical grid, wherein controlling the one or more parameters comprises decreasing a flow rate of fuel to the combustor in response to the over-frequency event.
