Abstract: In a start-up method of a single shaft combined cycle power plant, during a time period from when the gas turbine is started up to when rotation speed of the gas turbine reaches a rotation speed allowing self-sustained operation using the combustion gas, auxiliary steam from the start-up boiler is fed to the low-pressure steam turbine via the low-pressure turbine steam supply pipe by controlling valve opening degree of the auxiliary steam flow control valve. The low-pressure steam turbine generates a drive force. Speed-up control is performed in a unified manner for the gas turbine, the high-pressure steam turbine, the low-pressure steam turbine, and the power generator.

Abstract: There is provided a protection device for a turbine exhaust chamber and a condenser, having, a condenser, a turbine exhaust chamber casing covering the steam turbine and the condenser, an atmosphere discharge disc for discharging atmosphere when a pressure reaches a first predetermined value, a temperature measuring unit for measuring a temperature in the turbine exhaust chamber casing, a first setter for setting a second predetermined value, an output unit for producing an external output, based on the measured temperature and the second predetermined value, when a pressure corresponding to the temperature becomes higher than or equal to the second predetermined value related to pressure or when the temperature becomes equal to or higher than the second predetermined value related to temperature, and a releasing unit for releasing the steam in the turbine exhaust chamber casing to an exterior when the output unit produces the external output.
