Contents: The operating range of heavy duty gas turbines that feature lean premixed combustion to achieve low NO* emissions is limited by thermoacoustic oscillations. To extend the operational envelope of the gas turbine, passive means have to be developed to suppress thermoacoustic instabilities. In order to develop passive means the complex interaction between acoustics and thermal heat release has to be taken into account. A new stability chart applicable to the qualification of industrial design has been developed that accounts for the acoustic properties of the combustion system including its boundary conditions and the flame response data. The method has been validated using detailed measurements of the eigenmodes in an operating gas turbine as well as experimental data from component test rigs. An explanation is given of the significant extension of the operation envelope of the gas turbine as an effect of cylindrical extensions to the burner nozzle.
