  • Patent number: 10221777
    Abstract: A combustion control device is installed in a gas turbine including a compressor, a combustor, a turbine, a turbine bypass pipe through which compressed air from a casing is discharged to a turbine downstream part so as to bypass the turbine, and a turbine bypass valve that regulates a turbine bypass flow rate of the compressed air. The combustion control device includes: a fuel distribution setting unit that sets a turbine inlet temperature or a turbine inlet temperature-equivalent control variable on the basis of input data, and sets fuel distribution ratios on the basis of the turbine inlet temperature or the turbine inlet temperature-equivalent control variable; and a fuel valve opening setting section that sets the valve openings of fuel regulating valves. The fuel distribution setting unit includes correction means for modifying the fuel distribution ratios.

  • Patent number: 10208678
    Abstract: A combustion control device (50) is installed in a gas turbine including a compressor (2), combustors (3), a turbine (4), a bleed air pipe (12) through which bleed air is returned to an inlet of an air intake facility (7), and an air bleed valve (22) that regulates the amount of bleed air extracted. The combustion control device (50) includes: a fuel distribution setting unit (70) that sets a turbine inlet temperature or a turbine inlet temperature-equivalent control variable on the basis of input data, and sets fuel distribution ratios on the basis of the turbine inlet temperature or the turbine inlet temperature-equivalent control variable; and a fuel valve opening setting section (81) that sets the valve openings of fuel regulating valves. The fuel distribution setting unit (70) includes correction means for modifying the fuel distribution ratios.

  • Publication number: 20100054924
    Abstract: A brush seal in which an increase in steady-state wear is prevented and the influence of turbulence is eliminated is provided. The invention includes a brush seal including brush seal bristles formed of a plurality of wires and mounted to a seal box in such a manner that one end thereof is in contact with a downstream cylindrical portion; and a downstream support plate mounted next to the brush seal bristles in a direction in which combustion gas flows, for restricting the motion of the brush seal bristles. The brush seal seals the combustion gas flowing between the seal box and the downstream cylindrical portion. The brush seal includes restraint bristles mounted opposite to the downstream support plate and next to the brush seal bristles in the direction in which the combustion gas flows.
