  • Patent number: 10746106
    Abstract: An IGV opening command value is corrected to calculate an actual opening equivalent value that indicates an approximate value of an actual opening. A temperature estimation value, for a case where a mixture of fuel and in-flowing air is combusted, is calculated using the actual opening equivalent value, atmospheric conditions, and an output from a gas turbine. A fuel distribution command value that indicates distribution of fuel output from a plurality of fuel supply systems is calculated on the basis of the temperature estimation value. The fuel distribution command value and a fuel control signal command value that indicates the total flow rate of fuel to be output to the plurality of fuel supply systems are acquired, and respective valve openings of fuel flow rate regulating valves of the fuel supply systems are calculated on the basis of the fuel distribution command value and the fuel control signal command value.

  • Patent number: 8899047
    Abstract: Provided is a power plant including a gas turbine that uses a fuel gas as a fuel; a fuel gas cooler that cools the fuel gas, which is to be pressurized in a fuel gas compressor and re-circulated, using cooling water; and a dust collection device that separates/removes impurities from the fuel gas that is to be guided to the fuel gas compressor; wherein the power plant further includes heating means that heats the fuel gas that is to be guided to the dust collection device using the fuel gas that has been used to generate an anti-thrust force acting on a rotor of the fuel gas compressor.
