Increasing stability and reliability

Stable and reliable gas turbine operation with low emissions relies on the accurate and fast control of the fuel flow rate supplied to the combustion system. Sliding Fuel Pressure Control enables your turbine to accommodate low or fluctuating gas supply pressure, so you keep operating with confidence.

OpFlex Sliding Fuel Pressure Control features**

  • Closed loop control use pressure and valve position feedback and logic to adjust the inter-stage pressure setpoint—valve operating limits maintain stable and accurate fuel flow control
  • Allows continued operation with lower gas fuel supply pressure by accounting for all GT operating variation:
    • Ambient variation
    • Fuel variation
    • Future gas turbine hardware and control upgrades
    • Actual fuel splits
    • Combustor mode
  • Refined protections to reduce impact to operations
  • Improved flexibility on automatic transfers to liquid fuel
