Abstract

A two-shaft gas turbine having high operability is provided. The two-shaft gas turbine includes: a gas generator having a compressor, a combustor and a high pressure turbine; a power turbine having a low pressure turbine; a load connected to the power turbine; a motor/generator capable of rotatably driving the gas generator and capable of extracting power from the gas generator; electric equipment controlling the rotational driving and the power extraction by delivering electric power between the electric equipment and the motor/generator; and a control device controlling the electric equipment, wherein the combustor has a plurality of combustion regions to which a fuel is supplied through fuel adjustment means which are independent from each other, and the control device controls a delivery amount of the electric power delivered by the electric equipment corresponding to the number of combustion regions to which the fuel is supplied.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A two-shaft gas turbine comprising:
a gas generator including a compressor which compresses air, a combustor which adds a fuel to compressed air obtained by compressing air with the compressor, and combusts a fuel-air mixture thus generating a combustion gas, an inlet auide valve that changes an amount of air flowing into the compressor, and a high pressure turbine which is rotatably driven by the combustion gas;
a power turbine arrangement which has a low pressure turbine rotatably driven by the combustion gas which drives the high pressure turbine and a load which is connected to the low pressure turbine;
a motor/generator which is capable of rotatably driving the gas generator and is capable of extracting power from the gas generator;
electric equipment which controls the rotational driving and the power extraction by delivering electric power between the electric equipment and the motor/generator; and
a control device programmed to control the inlet guide valve and the electric equipment, wherein
the combustor includes a premix combustion burner that is partitioned into four combustion regions to which a fuel is supplied through fuel adjustment means which are independent from each other, and
the control device adjusts an opening of the inlet guide valve to balance energy collected by the high pressure turbine with energy necessary for driving the compressor, controls a rotational speed of the gas generator to become a desired value, and increases or decreases a delivery amount of the electric power delivered by the electric equipment when the number of combustion regions to which the fuel is supplied is changed depending on an increase or decrease in the load.

2. The two-shaft gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the control device includes a load trend prediction data base having load trend prediction information, and the control device controls the delivery amount of electric power delivered by the electric equipment corresponding to the information of the load trend prediction data base.

3. A gas turbine plant having the two-shaft gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the two-shaft gas turbine is one of a plurality of two-shaft gas turbines, and the electric equipment is used in common by the plurality of two-shaft gas turbines.
