Hi.
I have few questions about how gas turbine works at part load when DLN I combustion system is employed. This is Frame 9 gas turbine - PG 9171E
Last week a had an appointment with peoples who work in gas turbine combined cycle power plant. They use Pre-select load control while operating at part load on Droop Speed Control. The position of inlet guide vanes is automatically modulated to control fuel/air ratio in combustor.
As I said in my latest post I am trying to develop a mathematical model of this gas turbine. Now I am thinking how to simulate a behavior of unit at part load when IGV are modulated to control combustion process (amount of air supplied to DLN I to avoid flame instability) and Pre-select load control is enabled and active (not IGV temperature control). I found here:

a following sentence (second post):
Two last things. First, if the turbine you are working on has DLN (Dry Low NOx) combustors, IGV exhaust temperature control is not operator-selectable; it's always on.
Questions are:
1.How gas turbine operates at part load (with DLN combustor)? IGV are modulated to control fuel/air ratio in DLN I or to maximize gas exhaust temperature? I am really confused about it. What happens with speed control?
2.If at part load amount of fuel is controlled by speed control (in this case Pre-select load control) how a position of IGV and exhaust temperature are changing while load is changing?
3.Can I assume that at part load unit operates using IGV exhaust temperature control? If this is true, actual exhaust gas temperature TTXM equals TTRX (for particular CPD)?
Best regards
