Abstract
A gas turbine system includes a compressor, a fuel source, a combustor, and a turbine. The compressor is configured to compress air. The fuel source is configured to supply fuel to a plurality of fuel manifolds. The combustor is configured to receive the air from the compressor, to receive the fuel from the plurality of fuel manifolds, and to combust the air and the fuel into combustion products. The turbine is configured to extract work from the combustion products. A fuel control valve is disposed within each of the plurality of fuel manifolds and is configured to throttle the fuel to the combustor when the gas turbine system is operating in an electrical island mode.
