Systems and methods for modifying the performance of a gas turbine

摘要

A system (200) for modifying the operation and/or performance of a gas turbine (205) comprising one or more combustors, the system comprising at least one sensor (240) for determining a gas exhaust temperature (220) for the gas turbine, and a controller (245) operable to receive the gas exhaust temperature from the at least one sensor, estimate a transient heat transfer rate (225) for the gas turbine based at least in part on the gas exhaust temperature, and control the one or more combustors based at least in part on the estimated transient heat transfer rate for the gas turbine.
