Abstract (en)

A gas turbine plant for the production of electrical energy is provided with at least one combustor (4) comprising a combustion chamber (20) in which, in use, combustion occurs, and with at least one burner assembly (22) facing the combustion chamber (20) and fed with a mixture of air and gas; a radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation source (11) configured to selectively irradiate the combustion chamber (20) with radio-frequency electromagnetic radiations having a given frequency (F) and a given amplitude (A); at least one detecting sensor (13) configured to detect at least one parameter indicative of the presence of flame instability phenomena inside the combustion chamber (20); and at least one control device (12) configured to selectively activate the electromagnetic radiation source (11) and regulate the frequency (F) and/or the amplitude (A) of the radio-frequency electromagnetic radiations irradiated by the electromagnetic radiation source (11) on the basis of the data detected by the at least one detecting sensor (13).
