Abstract
In the case of a method for operating a gas turbine group, the gas turbine group essentially consists of a compressor (1), a combustion chamber (5), a turbine (2) and a generator (3). Fuel is mixed in a premixer (18) of the combustion chamber (5), prior to the combustion, with air compressed in the compressor (1), and subsequently burned in a combustion space (19). Compressed air, fed via an air line element (15) , is mixed with fuel fed via a fuel line element (16) and delivered to a reactor (10) having a catalytic coating. The air/fuel mixture is converted in the reactor (10) into a synthesis gas comprising hydrogen, carbon monoxide, residual air and residual fuel and this synthesis gas is injected into the zones of the combustion chamber (5) where the flame is stabilized.
