<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for modifying the operation and/or performance of a gas turbine by accurately determining the combustion reference temperature. <P>SOLUTION: The method 300 for modifying the operation and/or performance of the gas turbine including a plurality of combustors includes: step 305 of measuring a gas exhaust temperature of the gas turbine; and step 310 of estimating a heat transfer rate of the gas turbine, based at least in part on the gas exhaust temperature. After estimating the heat transfer rate, in the method, a transiently accurate combustion reference temperature is estimated, and step 320 is implemented in which the plurality of combustors of the gas turbine is controlled by using this parameter. Accordingly, the performance of the gas turbine can be modified to secure reliable consistent operations. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
