Gas compressor control device and gas turbine plant control mechanism
View Patent ↗A gas compressor control device and a gas turbine plant control mechanism are disclosed. A fuel gas pressurized by a gas compressor is supplied to a gas turbine via fuel gas piping. A gas turbine control device adjusts the flow rate of the fuel gas into the gas turbine by exercising opening and closing control of a pressure control valve and a flow control valve. The gas compressor control device controls a fuel gas pressure at the outlet of the gas compressor by effecting opening and closing control of a recycle valve and an IGV. If load rejection or load loss occurs, the gas compressor control device opens the recycle valve in a preceding manner and closes the IGV in a preceding manner. Thus, elevation of the fuel gas pressure at the gas compressor outlet can be prevented, and elevation of a fuel gas pressure at an inlet of the gas turbine can be suppressed, thereby ensuring stable operation.
1. A gas compressor control device for exercising opening control of a recycle valve interposed in a recycle pipe which returns a fuel gas from an outlet of a gas compressor to an inlet of said gas compressor, and opening control of an inlet guide vane provided in said gas compressor,
said gas compressor control device comprising:
a computing capability unit for computing a recycle valve normal opening command (r 1 ) and an inlet guide vane normal opening command (i 1 ) based on a deviation between a fuel gas pressure (P 1 ) at said gas compressor outlet and a preset fuel gas supply pressure set value (P 0 ); and
a computing capability unit for computing a recycle valve preceding opening command (r 2 ) and an inlet guide vane preceding opening command (i 2 ) based on a deviation between an actual generator output (W 1 ), which is an actual output of a generator rotationally driven by a gas turbine supplied with the fuel gas from said gas compressor, and a first order lag actual generator output (W 1 ′), which has been obtained by first order lag computation of said actual generator output (W 1 ), and
said gas compressor control device exercising:
during a normal operation, opening control of said recycle valve based on a value of said recycle valve normal opening command (r 1 ), and opening control of said inlet guide vane based on a value of said inlet guide vane normal opening command (i 1 ); and
in an event of a sudden load fall, opening control of said recycle valve based on a value obtained by adding said recycle valve preceding opening command (r 2 ) to said recycle valve normal opening command (r 1 ), and opening control of said inlet guide vane based on a value obtained by adding said inlet guide vane preceding opening command (i 2 ) to said inlet guide vane normal opening command (i 1 ).
2. A gas turbine plant control mechanism comprising:
a gas compressor control device for exercising opening control of a recycle valve interposed in a recycle pipe which returns a fuel gas from an outlet of a gas compressor to an inlet of said gas compressor, and opening control of an inlet guide vane provided in said gas compressor; and
a gas turbine control device for exercising opening control of a pressure control valve and a flow control valve interposed in gas piping which feeds the fuel gas from said gas compressor to a gas turbine, and wherein:
said gas turbine control device comprises a capability unit for feeding an actual generator output (W 1 ), which is an actual output of a generator rotationally driven by said gas turbine, to said gas compressor control device, and for feeding a load sudden fall signal to said gas compressor control device for a preset period of time when load loss or load rejection occurs; and
said gas compressor control device comprises:
a computing capability unit for computing a recycle valve normal opening command (r 1 ) and an inlet guide vane normal opening command (i 1 ) based on a deviation between a fuel gas pressure (P 1 ) at said gas compressor outlet and a preset fuel gas supply pressure set value (P 0 ); and
a computing capability unit for computing a recycle valve preceding opening command (r 2 ) and an inlet guide vane preceding opening command (i 2 ) based on a deviation between said actual generator output (W 1 ), which is the actual output of said generator, and a first order lag actual generator output (W 1 ′), which has been obtained by first order lag computation of said actual generator output (W 1 ), and
said gas compressor control device exercises:
when said load sudden fall signal has not been entered, opening control of said recycle valve based on a value of said recycle valve normal opening command (r 1 ), and opening control of said inlet guide vane based on a value of said inlet guide vane normal opening command (i 1 ); and
when said load sudden fall signal has been entered, opening control of said recycle valve based on a value obtained by adding said recycle valve preceding opening command (r 2 ) to said recycle valve normal opening command (r 1 ), and opening control of said inlet guide vane based on a value obtained by adding said inlet guide vane preceding opening command (i 2 ) to said inlet guide vane normal opening command (i 1 ).
