Can anyone describe the typical black start operation and control philosophy of GT driven Compressor. Also, please suggest any reading material for greater understanding.
Thanks all for replying. My recollection from previous experience with GE Frame type GTs is that a low pressure interlock will trip the turbine for reasons given above. However, I am also informed that aeroderivative units can operate at much lower fuel pressure than a frame GT. Reason being...

Hello,
This is my first thread, so here goes. Is it possible to run an aeroderivative or frame GT under low fuel pressure alarm conditions? Tripping the turbine is not an option on low pressure. What would be the consequences, e.g. -ve impact to MTBF or shortening of GT life, etc.? Thanks.
