Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A gas turbine engine that includes a stage of guide vanes, a compressor downstream from the stage of guide vanes, and a combustor downstream from the compressor. The combustor includes a primary combustion zone and a secondary combustion zone downstream from the primary combustion zone. The primary combustion zone includes an exit configured to channel combustion gases towards the secondary combustion zone. A controller is communicatively coupled with the stage of guide vanes, the controller configured to monitor a temperature at the exit of the primary combustion zone, and selectively open and close the guide vanes to maintain the temperature within a predefined temperature range.
