Abstract

A gas turbine load control device includes load setting means, first bias setting means, second bias setting means, target output setting means, and so forth. The target output setting means sets up a target output by adding a positive side bias value to a load set value when the load setting means gradually increases the load set value in response to an increase in a requested load set value inputted from requested load setting means. The target output setting means sets up the target output by subtracting a negative side bias value from the load set value when the load setting means gradually decreases the load set value in response to a decrease in the requested load set value.

Claims (13)

1. A gas turbine load control device comprising:

load setting means which gradually increases a load set value at a predetermined pace of increase until the load set value reaches a requested load set value when the requested load set value is increased, and which gradually decreases the load set value at a predetermined pace of decrease until the load set value reaches the requested load set value when the requested load set value is decreased;

first bias setting means which sets a positive side bias value as a bias value for the load set value;

second bias setting means which sets a negative side bias value as the bias value for the load set value;

target output setting means which sets a target output for a power generator by adding the positive side bias value to the load set value when the load setting means gradually increases the load set value in response to the increase in the requested load set value, and which sets the target output by subtracting the negative side bias value from the load set value when the load setting means gradually decreases the load set value in response to the decrease in the requested load set value;

output deviation operating means which calculates output deviation between the target output and an output of a power generator to be measured by power generator output measuring means; and

proportional-integral controlling means which controls flow rate controlling means for fuel of a gas turbine configured to rotate the power generator, by performing a proportional-integral operation based on the output deviation.

2. The gas turbine load control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first bias setting means defines the positive side bias value as a function of the load set value, and

the second bias setting means defines the negative side bias value as a function of the load set value.

3. The gas turbine load control device according to any of claims 1 and 2 , wherein

the first bias setting means gradually increases the positive side bias value at a predetermined pace of increase from zero until the positive side bias value reaches a predetermined value when the load setting means starts increasing the load set value, and gradually decreases the positive side bias value at a predetermined pace of decrease from the predetermined value until the positive side bias value reaches zero when the load setting means terminates the increase in the load set value, and

the second bias setting means gradually increases the negative side bias value at a predetermined pace of increase from zero until the negative side bias value reaches a predetermined value at a predetermined pace of increase when the load setting means starts decreasing the load set value, and gradually decreases the negative side bias value at a predetermined pace of decrease from the predetermined value until the negative side bias value reaches zero when the load setting means terminates the decrease in the load set value.
