Premix nozzles and gas turbine engine systems involving such nozzles are provided. In this regard, a representative industrial gas turbine engine includes: a combustion section having a nozzle assembly operative to provide a fuel-air mixture for combustion, the nozzle assembly having an array of shuttered nozzles and non-shuttered nozzles; each of the shuttered nozzles being operative in an open position, in which air is directed through the shuttered nozzle for mixing with fuel, and a closed position, in which a reduced amount of air is directed through the shuttered nozzle; each of the shuttered nozzles being inoperative to independently alter an amount of air being directed therethrough. |
