System and method for improving the performance of a selective catalyst reduction system in a heat recovery steam generator
A method for controlling emissions from a power plant having an ammonia injection grid that includes a plurality of ammonia injection points includes the steps of injecting ammonia into a flow of exhaust gas at an injection location, the injection of ammonia defining a spatial distribution of ammonia across an exhaust gas flowpath, measuring at least one parameter of the exhaust gas downstream from the injection location, comparing a measured value for the at least one parameter of the exhaust gas to a threshold value for the at least one parameter and, if the measured value for the at least one parameter exceeds the threshold value for the at least one parameter, automatically modifying the spatial distribution of ammonia injection across the exhaust gas flowpath.
Automated tuning of multiple fuel gas turbine combustion systems
Provided herein is a method for automated control of the gas turbine fuel composition through automated modification of the ratio of fuel gas from multiple sources. The method includes providing first and second fuel sources. The method further includes sensing the operational parameters of a turbine and determining whether the operational parameters are within preset operational limits. The method also adjusting the ration of the first fuel source to the second fuel source, based on whether the operational parameters are within the preset operational limits.
GAS TURBINE EQUIPMENT AND GAS TURBINE CONTROL METHOD
This gas turbine equipment comprises a gas turbine and a control device. A combustor of the gas turbine uses ammonia as fuel, and uses the RQL method. A compressor of the gas turbine includes an intake adjustor that adjusts an intake rate which is the flow rate of air that flows into a compressor casing. When the concentration of NOx in exhaust gas reaches or exceeds a predetermined value, the control device controls the operation of the intake adjustor so that the intake rate decreases.
Method of operating a combustor for a gas turbine
A method of operating a combustion system (16) for a gas turbine (10), the combustor system (16) comprises a main fuel supply (72, 73), a pilot fuel supply (74), a combustion chamber (38). The method comprises the steps supplying a first fuel flow through the main fuel supply (72) and the pilot fuel supply (74), monitoring a composition of the first fuel, monitoring combustion instability, reducing the first fuel flow through the pilot fuel supply (74) to zero when the first fuel composition has a) a hydrogen content ?5% by volume and/or b) a high-HC content ?5% by volume and the combustion instability <a predetermined value.
System and methods for improving combustion turbine turndown capability
Combustion turbine control systems are configured to operate combustion turbine systems in partial or no load while meeting emission targets. The combustion turbine system includes a combustion turbine, an electrical generator, a combustion turbine controller, a catalyst assembly, and/or other relevant equipment. Based on given operating constraints, such as load conditions and emission regulations, the combustion turbine controller may execute corresponding actions to control certain gas concentrations and/or gas mass flows in the exhaust gases in compliance with emission regulations. The corresponding actions may include, but are not limited to: controlling fuel and/or diluent injection(s) to combustor(s) to control combustion (e.g., combustion temperature) to manage combustion gas contents exiting from the combustor, controlling compressor bleed valve(s) to control the combustion temperature, controlling the catalyst assembly to process exhaust gases to be released into the environment, or a combination thereof.
