Abstract

Provided is a control device of a gas turbine including a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine. The control device executes load control of allowing an operation control point for operation control of a gas turbine to vary in response to a load of the gas turbine. The operation of the gas turbine is controlled on the basis of a rated temperature adjustment line for temperature adjustment control of a flue gas temperature at a predetermined load to a rated flue gas temperature at which performance of the gas turbine becomes rated performance, a preceding setting line for setting of the flue gas temperature at the predetermined load to a preceding flue gas temperature that becomes lower in precedence to the rated flue gas temperature, and a limit temperature adjustment line for temperature adjustment control.

Claims (41)

1. A control device of a system in which intake-air is configured to be compressed into compressed air by a compressor, fuel supplied from a combustor and the compressed air are configured to be mixed and a resultant mixture is configured to be combusted to generate a combustion gas, and a turbine is configured to be operated by the combustion gas that is generated,

wherein the control device is configured to execute load control of causing an operation control point for operation control of the system to vary in response to a load of the system;

wherein the operation of the system is configured to be controlled based on:

a rated temperature adjustment line for temperature adjustment control of a flue gas temperature at a predetermined load to a rated flue gas temperature at which performance of the system becomes rated performance;

a preceding setting line for setting of the flue gas temperature at the predetermined load to a preceding flue gas temperature that becomes lower than the rated flue gas temperature; and

a limit temperature adjustment line defining a limit flue gas temperature that is higher than the rated flue gas temperature;

wherein the control device is configured such that:

during load raising in which the load rises, the operation control point is caused to vary so that the flue gas temperature becomes lower than the preceding flue gas temperature of the preceding setting line;

when the flue gas temperature reaches the preceding flue gas temperature, the control device is configured to perform temperature adjustment control such that the operation control point conforms to the preceding setting line; and

when the load reaches a target load that is targeted, the operation control point is transitioned to the rated temperature adjustment line; and

wherein:

the limit flue gas temperature of the limit temperature adjustment line is defined by a function of a pressure ratio of the compressor;

the flue gas temperature is a flue gas measurement temperature that is measured by a flue gas thermometer; and

during the load raising in which the load rises, in a case where the flue gas measurement temperature is higher than the limit flue gas temperature of the limit temperature adjustment line and satisfies a setting condition that is set in advance, the limit flue gas temperature of the limit temperature adjustment line is set to be higher than the flue gas measurement temperature.

2. The control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein during a load variation in which the load varies, the operation control point is transitioned to the preceding setting line to cause the operation control point to vary in conformity with the preceding setting line.

3. The control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case of performing load lowering in which the load lowers from a temperature adjustment control state in which the flue gas temperature becomes the rated flue gas temperature of the rated temperature adjustment line, an opening degree of an inlet guide vane at the limit temperature adjustment line is changed to be an opening degree of the inlet guide vane at the rated temperature adjustment line, and the operation control point is transitioned from the rated temperature adjustment line to the preceding setting line.

4. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the compressor includes an inlet guide vane that is on an intake side and is capable of adjusting an opening degree; and

the operation control point is caused to vary through adjustment of the opening degree of the inlet guide vane.

5. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the compressor includes an inlet guide vane that is on an intake side and is capable of adjusting an opening degree; and

the setting condition includes at least one condition among:

a first condition in which the flue gas temperature does not conform to the rated flue gas temperature of the rated temperature adjustment line, and the operation control point transitions to the preceding setting line;

a second condition in which the opening degree of the inlet guide vane is enlarged so that the flue gas temperature becomes lower than the preceding flue gas temperature of the preceding setting line; and

a third condition in which a pressure ratio of the compressor increases.

6. A control method of a system in which intake-air is compressed into compressed air by a compressor, fuel that is supplied and the compressed air are mixed and a resultant mixture is combusted to generate a combustion gas, and a turbine is operated by the combustion gas that is generated,

the method comprising:

executing load control of causing an operation control point for operation control of the system to vary in response to a load of the system; and

controlling the operation of the system based on:

a rated temperature adjustment line for temperature adjustment control of a flue gas temperature at a predetermined load to a rated flue gas temperature at which performance of the system becomes rated performance;

a preceding setting line for setting of the flue gas temperature at the predetermined load to a preceding flue gas temperature that becomes lower than the rated flue gas temperature; and

a limit temperature adjustment line defining a limit flue gas temperature that is higher than the rated flue gas temperature,

wherein during load raising in which the load rises, the operation control point is caused to vary so that the flue gas temperature becomes lower than the preceding flue gas temperature of the preceding setting line;

when the flue gas temperature reaches the preceding flue gas temperature, the control device performs temperature adjustment control such that the operation control point conforms to the preceding setting line; and

when the load reaches a target load that is targeted, the operation control point is transitioned to the rated temperature adjustment line; and

wherein:

the limit flue gas temperature of the limit temperature adjustment line is defined by a function of a pressure ratio of the compressor;

the flue gas temperature is a flue gas measurement temperature that is measured by a flue gas thermometer; and

during the load raising in which the load rises, in a case where the flue gas measurement temperature is higher than the limit flue gas temperature of the limit temperature adjustment line and satisfies a setting condition that is set in advance, the limit flue gas temperature of the limit temperature adjustment line is set to be higher than the flue gas measurement temperature.
