Abstract
A gas turbine combustion system includes a combustor that has at least two injection stages each configured to inject fuel into a combustion chamber of the combustor. A fuel supply circuit is in fluid communication with the at least two injection stages for providing the fuel from a fuel supply to the injection stages. The fuel supply circuit includes at least two branches, each branch being fluidly coupled to a respective injection stage. The gas turbine combustion system further includes at least two heat exchangers fluidly coupled to a thermal fluid supply. Each heat exchanger is disposed in thermal communication on a respective branch of the at least two branches for modifying a temperature of fuel within the respective branch.
