Abstract:
1. A gas turbine system for controlling and optimizing emissions of a catalytic combustor, the gas turbine comprising: a compressor, the catalytic combustor and a turbine; at least one calculation unit configured to implement a mathematical model of an operation of the gas turbine, wherein the mathematical model links a flow rate of a bleed system of the compressor to (i) an ambient temperature and (ii) a rotation of adjustable vanes that control a fluid entering the compressor, and the at least one calculation unit adjusts the flow rate of the bleed system of the compressor, using a valve, based on the ambient temperature and the rotation of the adjustable vanes of the compressor such that the emissions are optimized during variations of operating conditions of the turbine over a range of external environmental conditions from approximately −29° C. to +49° C.
