Abstract

See full text

A fuel control system for a turbine engine includes a mixer for mixing first and second fuels to obtain a fuel blend, a fuel blend analyzer, a combustor operable with the fuel blend, and a knock sensor coupled to the combustor. The system also includes a controller configured to: receive a measurement indicative of a composition of the fuel blend; compare the fuel blend measurement to an operational model of the combustor; determine, based on the comparison, a predicted combustion condition in the combustor associated with the fuel blend measurement; control, based on the predicted combustion condition, flow of the first fuel or the second fuel; receive a combustion signal indicative of combustion behavior in the combustor; compare the predicted combustion condition to the combustion signal; and update the operational model if the predicted combustion condition does not match the indicated combustion behavior.
