  • Patent number: 11933197
    Abstract: A method for starting up a combined cycle plant in which the following steps are executed: a gas turbine start-up step of increasing an output of a gas turbine to a rated output, a steam admission step of starting steam supply to a steam turbine when a temperature of the steam from a waste heat recovery boiler reaches or exceeds a predetermined temperature, and an ST generator output control step of controlling a flow rate of steam flowing into the steam turbine after a generator is synchronized so that an output of the generator increases according to a target output change pattern. In the ST generator output control step, when a thermal stress reaches or exceeds a predetermined first thermal stress, the flow rate of the steam is controlled so that the change in the generator output is smaller than a change indicated by the target output change pattern.

  • Patent number: 7364000
    Abstract: The invention provides a suspension apparatus of a vehicle comprising a base end portion of a swing arm pivotally attached to a vehicle body so as to freely oscillate, and a wheel which is rotatably supported to a leading end portion of the swing arm. A first link is pivotally attached to a portion between the base end portion and the leading end portion of the swing arm. A second link is pivotally attached to a position which is below a pivot point to which the base end portion of the swing arm is pivotally attached in the vehicle body, and the first link and the second link are pivotally attached. One end of a cushion unit is pivotally attached to the vehicle body. Another end of the cushion unit is pivotally attached to one of the first link and the second link, in which the first link or the second link comprises an expandable link. The expandable link is energized in a contracting direction.
