Systems and methods for controlling mode transfers of a turbine combustor are provided. According to one embodiment, a system may include a controller to control a combustor, and a processor communicatively coupled to the controller. The processor may be configured to receive current operating conditions, target operating limits, and combustor transfer functions. The combustor transfer functions may be evaluated to estimate operating limits associated with one or more combustion modes under the current operating conditions. The estimated operating limits associated with the one or more combustor modes may be compared to the target operating limits, and, based on the comparison, at least one of the combustion modes may be selected. The combustor may then be selectively transferred to the selected combustion mode. |

1. A method for controlling mode transfers of a combustor, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, one or more current operating conditions; receiving, by the processor, one or more target operating limits; receiving, by the processor, one or more combustor transfer functions; evaluating, by the processor, the one or more combustor transfer functions to estimate operating limits associated with one or more combustion modes under the one or more current operating conditions; comparing, by the processor, the one or more estimated operating limits associated with the one or more combustion modes to the target operating limits; and based at least in part on the comparison, selecting, by the processor, at least one of the combustion modes.
