Abstract

A temperature control device includes a temperature difference calculation unit that calculates a temperature difference between an inlet and an outlet of a boost compressor on the basis of a pressure ratio of the inlet and the outlet of the boost compressor and an IGV opening degree of the boost compressor, the boost compressor outputting cooling air obtained by cooling compressed air from a compressor to a cooling target; a temperature information calculation unit that calculates temperature information for feedback control for at least one of the inlet and the outlet of the boost compressor on the basis of the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet of the boost compressor; and a control unit that performs feedback control by using the temperature information for feedback control such that at least one of an inlet temperature and an outlet temperature of the boost compressor approaches a setting value.

Claims (25)

1. A temperature control device comprising:

a temperature difference calculation unit that calculates a temperature difference between an inlet and an outlet of a boost compressor on the basis of a pressure ratio of the inlet and the outlet of the boost compressor and an opening degree of an inlet guide vane of the boost compressor, the boost compressor outputting cooling air obtained by cooling compressed air from a compressor to a cooling target;

a temperature information calculation unit that calculates temperature information for feedback control for at least one of the inlet and the outlet of the boost compressor on the basis of the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet of the boost compressor; and

a control unit that performs feedback control of at least one of an inlet temperature of the boost compressor and an outlet temperature of the boost compressor by using the temperature information for feedback control such that at least one of an inlet temperature and an outlet temperature of the boost compressor approaches a setting value.

2. The temperature control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the temperature information calculation unit calculates an inlet temperature setting value of the boost compressor on the basis of an outlet temperature setting value of the boost compressor and the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet of the boost compressor, and

wherein the control unit performs feedback control such that the inlet temperature of the boost compressor approaches the setting value.

3. The temperature control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the temperature information calculation unit calculates the outlet temperature of the boost compressor on the basis of an inlet temperature measurement value of the boost compressor and the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet of the boost compressor, and

wherein the control unit performs feedback control such that the outlet temperature of the boost compressor calculated by the temperature information calculation unit approaches the setting value.

4. The temperature control device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a correction value generation unit that generates a correction value for a control command value which is output from the control unit, on the basis of information indicating an operation status of the compressor; and

an operation-status correspondence correction unit that corrects the control command value by using the correction value.

5. The temperature control device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a predetermined value output unit that outputs a predetermined value in a case where a surge avoidance control command of the boost compressor is acquired; and

a surge avoidance correction unit that corrects the control command value by using the predetermined value.

6. A gas turbine comprising the temperature control device according to claim 1 .

7. A temperature control method comprising:

a temperature difference calculation step of calculating a temperature difference between an inlet and an outlet of a boost compressor on the basis of a pressure ratio of the inlet and the outlet of the boost compressor and an opening degree of an inlet guide vane of the boost compressor, the boost compressor outputting cooling air obtained by cooling compressed air from a compressor to a cooling target;

a temperature information calculation step of calculating temperature information for feedback control for at least one of the inlet and the outlet of the boost compressor on the basis of the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet of the boost compressor; and

a control step of performing feedback control of at least one of an inlet temperature of the boost compressor and an outlet temperature of the boost compressor by using the temperature information for feedback control such that at least one of an inlet temperature and an outlet temperature of the boost compressor approaches a setting value.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program causing a computer to execute:

a temperature difference calculation step of calculating a temperature difference between an inlet and an outlet of a boost compressor on the basis of a pressure ratio of the inlet and the outlet of the boost compressor and an opening degree of an inlet guide vane of the boost compressor, the boost compressor outputting cooling air obtained by cooling compressed air from a compressor to a cooling target;

a temperature information calculation step of calculating temperature information for feedback control for at least one of the inlet and the outlet of the boost compressor on the basis of the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet of the boost compressor; and

a control step of performing feedback control of at least one of an inlet temperature of the boost compressor and an outlet temperature of the boost compressor by using the temperature information for feedback control such that at least one of an inlet temperature and an outlet temperature of the boost compressor approaches a setting value.
