Abstract
Provided is a gas turbine combustor that can achieve improvement of the combustion stability. A gas turbine combustor includes a pilot burner of the diffusion combustion type, a pilot flow control valve that regulates a flow rate of fuel to be supplied to the pilot burner, a main burner of the premix combustion type arranged on an outer circumference side of the pilot burner, main flow control valves that regulate flow rates of fuel to be individually supplied to burner sectors into which the main burner is sectioned in a circumferential direction, and a controller configured to control the pilot flow control valve and the main flow control valves. The controller controls the main flow control valves such that, when fuel is to be supplied to all the burner sectors, a difference in fuel flow rate occurs between at least one burner sector and the other burner sectors among the burner sectors.
