I searched for the answer on Control.com but did not find the exact answer, hence I ask some questions here again.
We have five gas turbines, two Mark-2s and three Mark-4s. The two Mark-2 based turbines develop 119 PSI compressor discharge pressure (CDP; Also wish to ask, why some people refer to it as PCD? I came across this term while searching for answers on this site) in temperature control mode. Still turbine - 1 (T1)generates 2.5 to 3.0 MW extra power than turbine -2 (T2) in temperature control mode. The monthly fuel consumption of T2 is also higher than T1. Both T1 to T5 are fed the same quality gas. The Mechanical department engineers have changed the nozzles and combustion liners also. The Exhaust temperature of T2 is always 20-25 degrees higher than T1. The IGV is fully open. 84 Degrees angle in both cases, verified in field. Both turbines are twins commissioned in the same year. Can the firing temperatures vary so much in two turbines? What could be the reasons for this behaviour? Please illumine me.
