ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine includes a compressor for compressing air and discharging compressed air. A combustor produces a hot gas by burning a fuel having a quality level in the compressed air. A turbine expands the hot gas produced by the combustor. A fuel delivery system delivers the fuel to the combustor. A fuel quality sensor senses the quality level of the fuel which is delivered to the combustor. A control and monitoring system stops delivery of the fuel as a function of the quality level, and stores a history of the quality level.
