Abstract: A gas turbine load control device includes load setting means, first bias setting means, second bias setting means, target output setting means, and so forth. The target output setting means sets up a target output by adding a positive side bias value to a load set value when the load setting means gradually increases the load set value in response to an increase in a requested load set value inputted from requested load setting means. The target output setting means sets up the target output by subtracting a negative side bias value from the load set value when the load setting means gradually decreases the load set value in response to a decrease in the requested load set value.

Abstract: There are provided an intermetallic-compound superconductor that is high in superconducting transition temperature, and an alloy superconductor that is high in superconducting transition temperature and excels in malleability and ductility, as well as a method of making such a superconductor with good reproducibility and at a low cost of manufacture. This entirely new intermetallic compound superconductor is made of magnesium (Mg) and beryllium (Be) and has a chemical composition expressed by formula: Mg1Be2, has a hexagonal AlB2 type crystallographic structure and has a superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of 35 K. An alloy containing this intermetallic compound excels in malleability and ductility and constitutes the alloy superconductor having a superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of 35 K and being low in specific resistance for normal conduction at a temperature ranging from the superconducting transition temperature to a room temperature.
