Abstract

The gas turbine has become an important, widely used, and reliable device in the field of energy generation, transportation, and other applications. A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a type of continuous-flow internal combustion engine. The main hazard associated with gas turbines is a gas leak and the accumulation of combustible gas in a confined location, which has the potential to create an explosion or fire if ignited. Thus, this research paper focuses on reducing gas turbine fire & explosion events in order to limit the possibility of a gas leak and flammable gas buildup using advanced control measures.
