I have explained the combustion and DLN2.6, dry low nox 2.6 + with better understanding. Trainings from Experts and my personal experience on gas turbines helps me understand the DLN 2.6 system. I hope trainee from Power Plants will like the slide. its good work of research for young trainees at Power Plants

Higher Firing Temperature Machines ~ 7Fa, 9EC, G, H
Evolution of DLN-2 ~ Goal of reaching 9ppm NOx
Single Burning Zone, total premix combustor
What are we trying to control?... and how...
Unit load and fuel split via gas fuel staging
~ four independent gas fuel passages
Techniques:
Cascaded Flow & Load Control
control valves positioned based upon flow characteristics
& critical pressure drop across contol valves to achieve
desired flow split & load control
combustion reference temperature TTRF1 (model of T4)
flow scheduling based upon TTRF1

Total Flow = (PM3/(PM2+PM3))/(PM2/(PM2+PM3)) + PM1/(PM1+PM2+PM3) + Q/Total
example base load fuel split:
60/40 +16.667 + 10
PM3 flow = 60 % of PM2+PM3 flow (45% of total flow)
PM2 flow = 40% of PM2+PM3 scheduled flow (30% of total flow)
PM1 flow = 16.667% of PM1+PM2+PM3 scheduled flow (15% of total flow)
