| 1. A dry low NOx gas turbine engine system comprising:
a gas turbine engine comprising at least one dry low NOx combustor including a plurality of injection points, at least some of the injection points configured to inject a fuel into
said combustor at a plurality of different locations;
a liquid water source coupled to said combustor and operable to inject liquid water into others of said plurality of injection
points; and
a control system comprising:
a sensor configured to measure a concentration of NOx present in turbine exhaust gas;
a processor programmed to:
receive a signal indicative of the turbine exhaust gas NOx concentration; and
automatically transmit a signal for controlling the water injection using the received exhaust gas NOx concentration signal.
