ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine combustion system having: a plurality of combustion chambers; a plurality of fuel nozzles for each of combustion chamber; a plurality of manifolds for supplying fuel to at least one fuel nozzle in each of the combustion chambers; each of the manifolds having fuel trim control valves for the fuel nozzles, wherein the fuel trim control valves are mounted on the multiple manifolds for metering the fuel to the fuel nozzles in the combustion chambers, and a trim valve controller automatically actuates one or more of the fuel trim valves to adjust fuel to the fuel nozzles based on gas turbine operating conditions.
