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.

Abstract: A wind-turbine control device controls a wind turbine generator in which a rotor having a plurality of blades receives wind and rotates. The generator generates electrical power through the rotation of the rotor. The electrical power is supplied to a utility grid, and electric energy to be supplied to the utility grid can be changed according to a change in the frequency of the utility grid. The wind-turbine control device includes a subtracter to calculate a frequency change, which is the difference between a measurement value of the frequency of generated output power of the wind turbine generator and a set value of the frequency of the generated output power of the wind turbine generator. The wind-turbine control device further includes a limiter to limit a change in the electrical power corresponding to the frequency change calculated by the subtracter, based on the rotational speed of the generator.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to, if a frequency decrease has occurred in a power system, avoid a trip in a wind turbine generator and reliably contribute to recovery of the frequency of the power system. The present invention provides a wind turbine generator that, if a predetermined frequency decrease that requires PFR has occurred in the power system, calculates a marginal active power based on the difference between a predetermined rotational speed lower limit value, which is obtained by providing the parallel-off rotational speed with a predetermined margin, and a measured value of the shaft rotational speed, and generates an active power command value based on the marginal active power.

Abstract: A wind power generator generates power through a rotation of a rotor and is interconnected, and operated with its power generation output previously limited in order to be able to further supply the power to a power system in response to a decrease in system frequency. Thus, a concentrated control system derives a required restricted amount corresponding to a power generation output required to respond to the decrease in system frequency, derives a value by subtracting an amount corresponding to a latent power generation output with which the power generation output can be increased, from the required restricted amount, and sets a restricted amount of the power generation output in each wind power generator to perform the operation with the power generation output previously limited to respond to the decrease in system frequency, based on the above value.

Abstract: To prevent disconnection of wind turbine generators due to changes in wind conditions even if the wind turbine generators is operated to limit the power output. A plurality of wind turbine generators that generate electric power by the rotation of rotors are provided in a wind farm are interconnected and are operated while the power outputs are limited in advance so as to be able to further supply electric power to a utility grid in response to a decrease in the frequency or voltage of the utility grid. The rotational speed of the rotor, which is a physical quantity related to increase and decrease in the power output of the wind turbine generator, is measured for each of the wind turbine generators by a wind-turbine control system, and the limitation amount of the power output of the wind turbine generator is set for each of the wind turbine generators by a central control system on the basis of the rotational speed of the rotor measured.

Abstract: In a wind turbine generator, the rotation of the rotor is speeded up by a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor and is transferred to a synchronous generator. In a state in which the wind turbine generator is interconnected to a utility grid, and the synchronous generator reaches a synchronous speed, if no mechanical power is transferred to the synchronous generator, a wind-turbine control system operates the synchronous generator as a synchronous condenser, thus controlling the magnitude of the field current of the synchronous generator. Thus, the wind turbine generator can supply reactive power to the utility grid without adding new equipment, such as a reactive power compensator using a semiconductor switch.
