Abstract

A method of operating a multi-fuel combustion system is provided. The method includes a first phase and a second phase, wherein the first phase includes providing ignition to a combustor basket to ignite a first type of fuel, where the first type of fuel is supplied to the combustor basket through a first conduit. Also in first phase steam is also supplied to the first conduit in addition to the first type of fuel and steam is supplied to the second conduit after the ignition. In the second phase a second type of fuel is supplied to the combustor basket through the second conduit after ignition of the first fuel through the first conduit, while stopping the supply of the first fuel, and continuing to supply steam through both the first and second conduits.
