Embodiment Construction
[0053] The present invention relates to Active TAT1 Control (ATC), a semi-automatic control logic suitable for improving the closed-loop control of the first (EV) burner of a gas turbine with sequential combustion, such as the already mentioned GT26. The ultimate goal is to prevent NOx emissions from reaching guaranteed limits.
[0054] This is achieved by using the average turbine outlet temperature (ie TAT1 AVG ) of the (first) high pressure turbine 14 as the process control temperature. Linear regression analysis of the actual GT26 turbine showed that the average of the hottest 8 out of the actual 24 TAT1 measurements could indicate a mismatch between measured NOx emissions and the controlled TAT1 AVG at base load.
[0055] According to an embodiment of the invention, the hottest 8 TAT1 measurements averaged over 20 minutes are used as an indicator to correct for first (EV) burner closed-loop control disturbances (as e.g. EV hot gas temperature deviations), and thus Keep N...
