A control system for a gas turbine includes a controller. The controller includes a processor configured to receive a plurality of signals from sensors disposed in the gas turbine engine system, wherein the gas turbine system engine comprises a compressor section fluidly coupled to a gas turbine section. The processor is additionally configured to derive a vanadium content in a gas turbine engine fuel based on at least one of the plurality of signals. The processor is also configured to determine if a control curve should be adjusted based on the vanadium content in the gas turbine engine fuel, and if it is determined that the control curve should be adjusted, then deriving an adjustment to the control curve based on the vanadium content, and applying the adjustment to the control curve to derive an adjusted control curve.

Methods and systems for heavy fuel oil in gas turbines

A method of operating of a gas turbine engine to inhibit vanadic corrosion of the gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine burns a vanadium-contaminated fuel and includes a component configured to be in contact with combustion gases. The method includes introducing into a combustion system of the gas turbine engine a first oxide and at least one second oxide. The first oxide includes magnesium oxide, and the at least one second oxide includes at least one of aluminum oxide, iron (III) oxide, titanium dioxide, and silicon dioxide. The method further includes cleaning at least a portion of the component using a cleaning agent containing a liquid vector and at least one descaling material that is suspended in the liquid vector. The at least one descaling material is an inorganic material.
