Abstract
A method, system and software for reducing combustion chamber to chamber variation in a multiple-combustion chamber turbine system comprising sensing dynamic combustion pressure tones emitted from combustion chambers in a multiple combustion chamber turbine and determining a combustion chamber stratification index for the combustion chambers from the dynamic combustion pressure tones emitted for the combustion chambers to record and/or tune combustion chamber performance variations in the multiple-chamber combustion turbine system.
