A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more processor-executable instructions wherein the one or more instructions when executed by a processor of a controller, cause acts to be performed is provided. The acts to be performed include controlling a fuel split to a combustor of a gas turbine utilizing automatic tuning and switching control of the fuel split to the combustor of the gas turbine to utilizing an adjusted fixed fuel split schedule instead of automatic tuning. The adjusted fixed fuel split schedule includes a fixed fuel split schedule adjusted via a biasing value, and the biasing value is based on both the fixed fuel split schedule and an automatic tuning based fuel split.

System and method for adjusting combustor fuel split

In one embodiment, a turbine system includes a number of sensors, each of the number of sensors disposed in a respective location of the turbine system, and a controller including a memory storing one or more processor-executable routines and a processor. The processor configured to access and execute the one or more routines encoded by the memory wherein the one or more routines, when executed cause the processor to receive one or more signals from the number of sensors during any stage of operation of the turbine system, and convert the one or more signals to audio output.
