Abstract
A method for operating a gas turbine (2), in particular in a power plant, includes operating the gas turbine (2) with natural gas. In order to adapt the gas turbine operation to different natural gas qualities, a concentration of C2+ is measured in the natural gas during gas turbine (2) operation. The gas turbine (2) then is operated based on the current concentration of C2+.
