Abstract:
A gas turbine engine fuel additive control system includes a sensor positioned to sense an operational parameter of a gas turbine engine that includes a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section. The system also includes a control valve positioned to supply a fuel additive to a fuel line. The fuel line contains fuel for supply to the combustion section of the gas turbine engine to which the fuel additive is selectively added by injection into the fuel line. The system also includes a controller configured to monitor the operational parameter in real time during operation of the gas turbine engine and adjust the control valve to dynamically modulate an amount of the fuel additive being supplied in the fuel in accordance with operation of the gas turbine engine.
