Abstract

An integrated solar combined cycle power generation system includes a solar heat collector for collecting solar heat and generating solar heat steam; a gas turbine; a gas turbine exhaust heat recovery boiler; and a steam turbine; wherein the solar heat steam is decreased in temperature by a solar heat steam desuperheater under a normal condition, and the temperature decrease is stopped or a temperature decrease rate is reduced when the solar heat steam temperature falls due to a cause such as a sudden weather change, wherein the solar heat steam is joined to generated steam by a high-pressure drum or exit steam of a primary superheater, and wherein a main steam temperature control by a main steam temperature control valve is combined so that the main steam, the temperature of which is controlled to a predetermined temperature, is supplied to the steam turbine.
