1. A control device of a combined cycle plant including a gas turbine that is driven by combustion gas, an exhaust heat recovery boiler that generates steam by heat of the combustion gas discharged from the gas turbine, and a steam turbine that is driven by the steam, in which the gas turbine includes an intake air regulator that regulates an amount of intake air, the control device comprising:
a mode-recognizing unit that recognizes a start mode and a stop mode of the steam turbine; and
a command output unit that outputs a command to the intake air regulator,
wherein the mode-recognizing unit is configured to recognize a stop mode at time of stop of the steam turbine is either a cooling stop mode in which a temperature of a steam contact portion at the time of stop of the steam turbine is lower than a predetermined temperature or another stop mode different from the cooling stop mode in which the temperature of the steam contact portion is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature,
wherein the command output unit is configured to output a command to the intake air regulator so as to control a degree of opening of the intake air regulator when both of the steam turbine and the gas turbine are stopped, wherein the degree of opening of the intake air regulator is controlled to be a first degree when the stop mode is determined to be the cooling stop mode, the degree of opening of the intake air regulator is controlled to be a second degree when the stop mode is determined to be the other stop mode different from the cooling stop mode, and the first degree has a larger value than that of the second degree, and
wherein the command output unit outputs a command indicating a degree of opening corresponding to the start mode or the stop mode recognized by the mode-recognizing unit to the intake air regulator.
2. A combined cycle plant comprising:
the control device according to claim 1 ;
the gas turbine;
the exhaust heat recovery boiler; and
the steam turbine.
3. A control method of a combined cycle plant including a gas turbine that is driven by combustion gas, an exhaust heat recovery boiler that generates steam by heat of the combustion gas discharged from the gas turbine, and a steam turbine that is driven by the steam, in which the gas turbine includes an intake air regulator that regulates an amount of intake air, the control method comprising:
a stop mode-recognizing step of recognizing a stop mode at time of stop of the steam turbine is either a cooling stop mode in which a temperature of a steam contact portion at the time of stop of the steam turbine is lower than a predetermined temperature or another stop mode different from the cooling stop mode in which the temperature of the steam contact portion is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature; and
a command output step of outputting a command to the intake air regulator so as to control a degree of opening of the intake air regulator when both of the steam turbine and the gas turbine are stopped, wherein the degree of opening of the intake air regulator is controlled to be a first degree when the stop mode is determined to be the cooling stop mode, the degree of opening of the intake air regulator is controlled to be a second degree when the stop mode is determined to be the other stop mode different from the cooling stop mode, and the first degree has a larger value than that of the second degree.
4. The control method according to claim 3 , wherein the combined cycle plant includes a steam flow control valve that controls a flow rate of the steam flowing in the steam turbine, and
the command output step includes outputting a command corresponding to the first degree of opening on the condition of recognizing in the stop mode-recognizing step that the stop mode is the cooling stop mode and closing of the steam flow control valve is started when the steam turbine along with the gas turbine are stopped, and outputting a command corresponding to the second degree of opening on the condition of recognizing in the stop mode-recognizing step that the stop mode is the different stop mode and the closing of the steam flow control valve is started when the steam turbine along with the gas turbine are stopped.
5. The control method according to claim 4 , wherein the command output step includes outputting a command corresponding to a third degree of opening of which the degree of opening of the intake air regulator immediately before the closing of the steam flow control valve is started is the same as the second degree of opening at time of start of the closing of the steam flow control valve, before the closing of the steam flow control valve is started when the steam turbine is stopped, and
the command output step includes outputting a command indicating a degree of opening which gradually varies from the third degree of opening to the first degree of opening upon recognizing in the stop mode-recognizing step that the stop mode is the cooling stop mode and the closing of the steam flow control valve is started when the steam turbine is stopped, and outputting a command indicating the first degree of opening after the degree of opening becomes the first degree of opening.
