Increasing public awareness and more stringent legislation on pollutants drive gas turbine manufacturers to develop combustion systems with low NOx emissions. In combination with this demand, the gas turbines have to provide a broad range of operational flexibility to cover variations in gas composition and ambient conditions along with varying daily and seasonal energy demands and load profiles. This paper describes the development and implementation of the Alstom AEV (advanced environmental) burner, an evolution of the envorinmental (EV) burner. A continuous fuel supply to two fuel stages at any engine load simplifies the operation and provides a fast and reliable response of the combustion system during transient operation of the gas turbine. Increased turndown with low emissions is an additional advantage of the combustion system upgrade.
