SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR IGNITING AND OPERATING A GAS TURBINE ENGINE WITH ALTERNATIVE FUELS

A power generation system (100) includes a combustion system (108), a liquid supply system (104), and a vapor supply system (106). The combustion system (108) is configured to generate power by combusting an alternative fuel. The liquid supply system (104) is configured to channel a liquid alternative fuel to the combustion system (108). The vapor supply system (106) is configured to channel a vapor alternative fuel to the combustion system (108). The combustion system (108) is ignited by combusting the liquid alternative fuel from the liquid supply system (104) and is operated by combusting the vapor alternative fuel from the vapor supply system (106).
