Abstract
A turbine engine combustion system is disclosed including a fuel nozzle assembly having three independently controlled stages of water injection. A first stage includes water mixed with a gaseous fuel upon inlet to the nozzle, where the first stage water mixes and travels with the gaseous fuel to be injected into a combustor. A second stage includes water injected into the combustor via a secondary liquid nozzle which is used for fuel oil during liquid fuel operation, but which may be used for the secondary water during gaseous fuel operation. A third stage includes water injected into the combustor via a plurality of nozzle holes known as an atomizing air cap. An algorithm and criteria are also defined for controlling the three stages of water injection to achieve the optimum balance of turbine operational criteria including NOx emissions, combustion dynamics and water impingement downstream of the nozzle.
