Abstract

A method for operating a gas turbine (11) having a compressor (12), a turbine (14) and a combustor (13) with a pilot burner group (15a), a rich premix burner group (15b) and a lean premix burner group (15c), under changing composition of the incoming fuel gas (16), includes the steps of: continuously measuring, in real time, the composition of the fuel gas (16); and controlling the operation of the gas turbine (11) and the combustion of the burners (15a-c) by using the real time fuel gas composition measurements.
