ABSTRACT:
A predetermined time delay of speed setpoint ramping of a gas turbine is imposed at ignition in its primary control system or local maintenance controller in order to compensate for the fixed energy input at ignition which might otherwise greatly increase the possibility of flameout. The imposed time delay results in the increase of an initial turbine speed tracking mode time period for the duration of the time delay.
During the time delay period, fuel flow is maintained at a fixed fuel valve setting and pressure. At the termination of the time delay period, ramping of a speed setpoint at a selected rate is begun and the turbine speed is thereby increased towards synchronization speed whereat synchronization is effected.
