A gas turbine and an afterburner are operated with a dual liquid fuel system. During protective stops, logic controls are provided for initiating a transfer from operating fuel to a flushing fuel after predetermined conditions are satisfied. After fuel transfer, shutdown is completed without setting trips and restart can be achieved without special prestart preparation of the fuel system.

A system for operating and shutting down a gas turbine-generator comprising a liquid fuel supply system which selectively supplies an ignition quality fuel or a post-ignition quality fuel to the turbine combustors, a speed/load control for said turbine fuel system to supply fuel to said turbine as required during startup and shutdown and during load operations, means for generating protective turbine stop signals and protective turbine trip signals in response to predetermined sensed conditions, and means for controlling said speed/load control and said turbine fuel system to shut said turbine down in an orderly stepped procedure without setting trips when a turbine stop signal occurs, said turbine shutdown controlling means including means for transferring the turbine supply fuel from post-ignition fuel to ignition fuel during continued fuel burning at a predetermined point in the turbine shutdown so as to flush the post-ignition fuel from the turbine fuel system supply lines, said shutdown controlling means further including means for opening a breaker for the generator, means for stepping back said speed/load control to idle operation, means for generating a signal representative of stable turbine operation in the idle state, and means for generating a fuel transfer signal after generation of the stable idle signal to permit transfer to the flushing fuel.
