Definitions
- the present invention relates to a second-stage combustor for a sequential combustor of a gas turbine and to a method of controlling a sequential combustor of gas turbine with a first-stage combustor and a second-stage combustor.
- control of pollutant emissions is an objective of primary importance in design of any type of thermal machine and, in particular, of gas turbines for power plants.
- awareness of environmental risks drives towards regulations that set increasingly strict requirements.
- the organization of modern power market and the continuously variable demand do not allow to operate plants at constant load conditions. Instead, the need to meet demand fluctuations, including sudden rise or drop, and to contribute to control of grid frequency require quite flexible operation.
- the reduction of pollutant emissions is made critical by such a flexible operation, because conflicting requirements must be balanced.
- NOx nitrogen oxides
- CO carbon monoxide
- a second-stage combustor for a sequential combustor of a gas turbine comprising:
- the downstream flame stabilizer allows control of the second-stage combustor such that, in certain conditions, the flame is anchored and stabilized at the downstream flame location, which may be set as close to the combustion chamber outlet as desired.
- the flame may be stabilized at the downstream flame location at high-load operating conditions (e.g. full load or for current load above a high load threshold).
- high-load operating conditions e.g. full load or for current load above a high load threshold.
- the second-stage combustor can be controlled to set the flame at the upstream flame location at part load, in particular for current load below a low load threshold (which may be lower than or equal to the high load threshold). Flame temperature is lower at part load and production of NOx is normally not an issue. Instead, post flame residence time is high and complete oxidation of carbon takes place, thus keeping CO emissions low.
- a cross section of the flow channel changes gradually along the flow direction in a transition region between the burner and the combustion chamber and the transition region is configured to prevent gas flowing through the combustion chamber from recirculating at the upstream flame location.
- Flow recirculation or backflow may be created by a sudden increase in the cross section of the flow channel along the flow direction and is usually exploited in known combustors to create stagnation regions at the inlet of the combustion chamber, because flame anchoring is favoured by stagnation regions.
- flame anchoring may be difficult to release in the presence of recirculating flow, so stabilization of the flame at the downstream flame location might be prevented or made critical once the flame has been anchored at the upstream flame location.
- a smooth transition from the burner to the combustion chamber instead, helps release the flame from the upstream flame location as desired. Stabilization of the flame at the upstream flame location may be achieved through control of the inlet temperature of the mixture to be burned in the combustion chamber.
- the downstream flame stabilizer may be implemented by any measure suitable to ensure ignition of the mixture at the downstream flame location, whether by increasing reactivity of the mixture, or by providing a local heat source or by favouring stagnation of the mixture locally.
- the downstream flame stabilizer comprises at least one of:
- downstream electrode system Any combination of downstream electrode system, downstream pilot burner and change in cross section may be exploited as desired.
- an elongated streamlined body extends from the burner into the combustion chamber and is configured to prevent gas flowing through the combustion chamber from recirculating at the upstream flame location.
- the streamlined body helps maintain a smooth transition in the flow channel between the burner and the combustion chamber.
- the streamlined body may smoothly join a central body of the burner to prevent backflow.
- the downstream electrode system comprises a set of downstream electrodes on the streamlined body at the downstream flame location and a downstream voltage supply line running inside the streamlined body.
- the downstream pilot burner comprises a set of downstream fuel nozzles on the streamlined body at the downstream flame location and a downstream fuel supply line running inside the streamlined body.
- the streamlined body besides providing its typical aerodynamic function, is exploited also to accommodate voltage and/or fuel supply lines.
- downstream flame stabilizer can be obtained with virtually no impact on the gas flow through the combustion chamber, which is not appreciably affected.
- the change in cross section of the combustion chamber is defined by at least one of a truncated downstream end of the streamlined body and a circumferential step in a combustor liner delimiting the combustion chamber around the downstream flame location.
- a selectively activatable upstream flame stabilizer is provided at the upstream flame location.
- the upstream flame stabilizer allow to compensate for changes of flame location which could otherwise affect combustion in case of control purely based on inlet temperature.
- the fact that the upstream flame stabilizer may be selectively activated allows to easily release the flame from the upstream flame location e.g. when gas turbine load increases and there is an advantage to stabilize the flame at the downstream flame location.
- the upstream flame stabilizer may be implemented e.g. by increasing reactivity of the mixture or by providing a local heat source.
- the upstream flame stabilizer comprises at least one of:
- a combination of upstream electrode system and upstream pilot burner may be exploited as desired.
- At least one intermediate flame stabilizer is provided at a respective intermediate flame location between the upstream flame location and the downstream flame location.
- Additional stabilized flame locations may be provided along the combustion chamber as desired to further reduce pollutant emissions.
- a gas turbine comprising a sequential burner, the sequential burner including a first-stage combustor and a second-stage combustor as defined above.
- the gas turbine comprises a controller configured to set a current flame location at the downstream flame location in a first operating condition, corresponding to load values above a first load threshold, and to set the current flame location at the upstream flame location in a second operating condition, corresponding to load values below a second load threshold, not exceeding the first load threshold.
- the controller is configured to control a hot gas temperature of hot gas flowing from the first-stage combustor to the second-stage combustor.
- Hot gas temperature control helps stabilizing flame position. In some conditions, hot gas temperature control may be sufficient for stabilization at the upstream flame location.
- the controller is configured to activate the downstream flame stabilizer selectively in the first operating condition.
- the controller is configured to activate the upstream flame stabilizer selectively in the second operating condition.
- a method of controlling a sequential combustor of gas turbine with a first-stage combustor and a second-stage combustor including:
- stabilizing the current flame location comprises controlling a hot gas temperature of hot gas flowing from the first-stage combustor to the second-stage combustor.

- the compressor section 2 and the turbine section 3 extend along a main axis A.
- An airflow compressed in the compressor section 2 is mixed with fuel and is burned in the combustor assembly 3, possibly added with dilution air.

- the combustion chamber 21 extends along a flow direction downstream of the burner 20.
- the combustion chamber 21 comprises an outer liner 27, an inner liner 28 and an elongated streamlined body 30.
- the outer liner 27 surrounds the inner liner 28 at a distance therefrom, so that a cooling channel 31 is defined between the outer liner 27 and the inner liner 28.
- the inner liner 28 delimits the flow channel 15 outwards in the combustion chamber 21 and joins the wall 24 of the burner 20 in such a way to define a smooth transition without steps and possibly sharp edges.
- an edge of the wall 24 matches an adjacent edge of the inner liner 27.
- the streamlined body 30 extends from the burner 20 into the combustion chamber 21 substantially axially until an outlet thereof and joins the central body 25 of the burner 20 also in such a way to define a smooth transition without steps and possibly sharp edges.
- a transition region 32 between the burner 20 and the combustion chamber 21 a cross section of the flow channel changes gradually along the flow direction. Therefore, the transition region is configured to prevent gas flowing through the combustion chamber 21 from recirculating and creating stagnations regions.
- a downstream flame location 33 and an upstream flame location 34 are defined within the combustion chamber 21 at a distance from one another.
- the downstream flame location 33 is defined at an outlet of the combustion chamber 21 and the upstream flame location 34 is defined in the transition region 32 between the burner 20 and the combustion chamber 21, e.g. at an inlet of the combustion chamber 21.
- the whole space available in the combustion chamber 21 can be exploited to minimize the post flame residence time at full load and high temperature and improve air and fuel mixing, thus reducing NOx emissions, and to maximize the post flame residence time at part load and low temperature, thus reducing CO emissions.
- the distance between the upstream flame location and the downstream flame location could be lower than in the example of Figures 2 and 3 .

- the downstream flame stabilizer 35 produces sparks across the combustion chamber 21 and causes ignition of the mixture flowing through the combustion chamber 21 irrespective of temperature conditions and of the self-ignition time of the mixture.
- the self-ignition time of the mixture may be even so long that the mixture would not self-ignite within the combustion chamber 21, but the downstream flame stabilizer 35 is in any case capable of stabilizing the flame at the downstream flame location 33.
- the upstream flame stabilizer 36 comprises an upstream electrode system, operable to provide ignition energy in the combustion chamber 21 at the upstream flame location 34.
