This paper presents the results of combustion performance testing of a 5.25 MWe industrial gas turbine which features a conical counter-flow double-swirl stabilized, premixed combustor and the Combustion Tuning methodology using a Sensitivity Analysis (abbreviated to CTSA). The combustion performance test was conducted in an atmospheric pressure, optically accessible, real engine scale combustor. The atmospheric rig and real engine correlation was verified by comparing real engine data which were gathered from high pressure tests. NO x and CO emissions, combustor temperature at the fuel nozzle, dump plane and exhaust, dynamic pressure and flame structure, using planer laser induced fluorescence, were investigated with respect to power load and ambient temperature. To enhance the NO x and CO emission performances with stable combustion, the relative sensitivities of five control parameters were analyzed, and on the basis of sensitivity analysis data, combustion tuning testing was conducted. By using the CTSA, NO x emission in exhaust gas was reduced from 18 to 2.2 ppm at base load, with high combustion efficiency (>99.9%), and very little pressure fluctuation ( P rms |
