  • Patent number: 11118461
    Abstract: A second outer surface (49ab) of a top plate (49) is recessed from a first outer surface (49aa) of the top plate (49) in the direction away from the inner peripheral surface (34a) of a turbine casing (34) so that a step (50) is formed between the second outer surface (49ab) and the first outer surface (49aa).

  • Publication number: 20200309040
    Abstract: An operation control device for a single shaft gas turbine selects an operation mode based on a load state of a power generator, and controls the turbine based on the operation mode. In a first operation mode, a rotational speed of the turbine is maintained within a first rotational speed range, and in a second operation mode, the rotational speed is maintained within a second rotational speed range set on a lower rotational speed side than the first rotational speed range. The second rotational speed range is set on the lower rotational speed side than the first rotational speed range with a first non-selection rotational speed range set therebetween.
