Patent number: 10746105Abstract: A control device for a power generation system whereby power is generated by a first power source that operates by burning a fuel. The control device identifies, on the basis of a pressure difference in a prior-stage mechanism that supplies the fuel to the first power source, a fuel capacity that compensates for the pressure difference in the prior-stage mechanism. The pressure difference is the difference between a pressure set for the fuel before a load change in the prior-stage mechanism and a pressure set for the fuel after the load change in the prior-stage mechanism. The control device calculates a fuel supply command value, which is a command value for adjusting the amount of fuel supplied to a fuel supply device that supplies the fuel to the first power source, and is output to the fuel supply device using a fuel supply acceleration command value.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2014Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: MITSUBISHI HITACHI POWER SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Masato Murayama, Takanori Tsutsumi, Yoshinori Koyama, Ken Tamura, Takashi Fujii
