SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BULK TEMPERATURE VARIATION REDUCTION OF A GAS TURBINE THROUGH CAN-TO-CAN FUEL TEMPERATURE MODULATION

摘要

A gas turbine includes a plurality of combustion chambers; at least one fuel nozzle for each of the combustion chambers; at least one fuel line for each fuel nozzle in each of the combustion chambers; at least one heat exchanger for each fuel line configured to adjust a temperature of a fuel flow to each fuel nozzle; and a controller configured to control each of the heat exchangers to reduce temperature variations amongst the combustion chambers.
