According to at least one of the above-described aspects, when a part of a load applied to a power generator is cut off, it is possible to stabilize a frequency of electric power by limiting a change in a frequency of electric power output by the power generator.
Hereinafter, an embodiment is described in detail with reference to the drawings.
The control system 1 includes an internal power system 10, an external power system 20, and a control device 100.
The power system is a system in which a power generation process and a power transmission and reception process for supplying electric power output by a power generator to a power reception facility are integrated.
The control system 1 is a system that supplies fuel related to a value obtained by carrying out an arithmetic operation on a load applied to the internal power system 10 and a bias when the load applied to the external power system 20 is cut off. Thereby, the control system 1 can stabilize a frequency of the electric power by limiting a change in the frequency of the electric power output by the internal power system 10.
The load represents electric power that is consumed by a facility or the like.
When the load applied to the external power system 20 is cut off, an amount by which the load is changed due to the cutoff is also referred to as a lost load.
The internal power system 10 generates electric power at a factory facility equipped with a power generator 500, supplies electric power to an internal facility 600, and receives electric power from the external power system 20.
The external power system 20 receives electric power from the internal power system 10 and supplies electric power to the internal power system 10. The external power system 20 is connected to the internal power system 10 through an electric wire or the like.
The control device 1M is a device that adjusts an amount of fuel supplied to the power generator 500 based on a value obtained by carrying out an arithmetic operation on the load applied to the power generator 500 and the bias when a part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off. Thereby, the control device IOM can stabilize the frequency of the electric power by limiting the change in the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500.
Hereinafter, a configuration of the internal power system 10 is described.
The internal power system 10 includes a gas turbine 30, the power generator 500, and the internal facility 600.
The gas turbine 30 includes an inlet guide vane (IGV) 31, a compressor 32, a combustor 33, a turbine 34, a rotor 35, and a fuel valve 36.
The IGV 31 is provided on an inlet side of the compressor 32 and adjusts a flow rate of air flowing into the compressor 32.
The compressor 32 generates compressed air by compressing the inflowing air.
The combustor 33 mixes the air compressed by the compressor 32 with the fuel to generate high-temperature combustion gas. Examples of the above-described fuel include light oil, kerosene, natural gas, hydrogen, by-product gas of a blast furnace, and coal gasification gas.
The turbine 34 rotates the rotor 35 with the combustion gas and drives the power generator 500.
The rotor 35 connects the turbine 34 and the power generator 500 and is rotated by the turbine 34, such that the electric power generated by the turbine 34 is transmitted to the power generator 500 and the power generator 500 is driven.
The fuel valve 36 adjusts a flow rate of the fuel gas supplied to the combustor 33.
The combustor 33 is a device that generates a high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gas by mixing the fuel supplied via the fuel valve 36 with air and burning it. The fuel valve 36 is a valve that adjusts the flow rate of fuel supplied to the combustor 33 in response to a signal transmitted from the control device 100.
The power generator 500 is a device that outputs electric power using motive power generated by the gas turbine 30. The power generator 500 connects an internal facility 600A, an internal facility 600B, the gas turbine 30, and the external power system 20.
The internal facility 600 is a mechanical facility that operates by supplying the electric power output by the power generator 50 in the factory facility where the internal power system 10 is present.
The facility that outputs electric power in the internal power system 10 is the power generator 500. In the internal power system 10, facilities that consume electric power are the internal facility 60A and the internal facility 600B. The load of the internal facility 600A is referred to as a load L1. The load of the internal facility 6008 is referred to as a load L2.
The external power system 20 is a system including a facility configured to receive the supplied electric power output from the power generator 500 of the internal power system 10 and consumes electric power of a load L3 and a power generator (not shown) configured to supply electric power to the internal power system 10 and the like.
Hereinafter, a configuration of the control device 100 will be described.
The control device 100 includes a rotational speed acquisition unit 110, a determination unit 120, a load value acquisition unit 130, an arithmetic unit 140, and a command unit 150.
The rotational speed acquisition unit 110 acquires a rotational speed of the turbine 34 provided in the gas turbine 30.
The determination unit 120 determines whether or not the load of the external power system 20 is cut off. For example, the determination unit 120 is connected to a breaker (not shown) provided between the internal power system 10 and the external power system 20 and determines that cutoff of the load of the external power system 20 occurs when receiving a signal indicating cutoff from the breaker. When not receiving a signal indicating cutoff from the breaker, the determination unit 120 determines that the load of the external power system 20 is not cut off.
The load value acquisition unit 130 acquires a load value when the determination unit 120 determines that the load of the external power system 20 is cut off. The load value is a value of the load applied to the power generator 500 when the load of the external power system 20 is cut off.
When the load of the external power system 20 is not cut off, the value of the load applied to the power generator 500 becomes a value obtained by carrying out an addition operation on the value of the load of the external power system 20 and the value of the load of the internal power system 10. That is, when the load of the external power system 20 is not cut off, the value of the load applied to the power generator 500 becomes a value obtained by carrying out an addition operation on the load U, the load L2, and the load L3.
On the other hand, when the load of the external power system 20 is cut off, the value of the load applied to the power generator 500 becomes the value of the load of the internal power system 10. That is, when the load of the external power system 20 is cut off, the value of the load applied to the power generator 500 becomes a value obtained by carrying out an addition operation on the loads L1 and L2. Hereinafter, the value obtained by carrying out the addition operation on the loads L1 and L2 is referred to as an internal load.
The load value acquisition unit 130 is connected to the internal facility 600A and the internal facility 600B and receives the value of the load L1 and the value of the load L2. Subsequently, the load value acquisition unit 130 acquires a load value by carrying out the addition operation on the value of the load L1 and the value of the load L2. That is, the load value becomes the same value as the internal load.
The arithmetic unit 140 calculates an adjusted value by carrying out an arithmetic operation on the load value acquired by the load value acquisition unit 130 and a preset bias. The adjusted value is a value of the load different from the load value. An example of the bias is a negative real number. That is, the arithmetic unit 140 calculates the adjusted value that is less than the value of the internal load. Electric power corresponding to the adjusted value is lower than electric power indicated by the value of the internal load. Examples of a value obtained by carrying out the arithmetic operation on the load value and the bias in the arithmetic unit 140 include a value obtained by carrying out an addition operation on the load value and the bias and a value obtained by carrying out a multiplication operation on the load value and the bias.
The command unit 150 outputs a signal to the fuel valve 36 and adjusts the amount of fuel to be supplied to the combustor 33 such that the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500 is within a given range. Examples of the above-described given range include a frequency greater than or equal to 49.5 Hz and less than or equal to 50.5 Hz.
Hereinafter, an operation of the command unit 150 is specifically described.
The command unit 150 adjusts the amount of fuel by outputting the signal to the fuel valve 36 based on the rotational speed of the turbine 34 acquired by the rotational speed acquisition unit 110 such that the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500 is within the given range. For example, when the rotational speed of the turbine 34 acquired by the rotational speed acquisition unit 110 exceeds the given range, the command unit 150 outputs a signal for decreasing the amount of fuel to the fuel valve 36. Thereby, the amount of fuel supplied by the fuel valve 36 to the combustor 33 is decreased. Therefore, the rotational speed of the turbine 34 is decreased. That is, when the rotational speed of the turbine 34 exceeds the given range, the command unit 150 can make the rotational speed set within the given range. The frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500 varies with the rotational speed of the turbine 34. Thus, the control system 1 can set the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500 within the given range according to an operation of the command unit 150.
The command unit 150 outputs a signal for increasing the amount of fuel to the fuel valve 36 when the rotational speed of the turbine 34 acquired by the rotational speed acquisition unit 110 is less than the given range that is preset. Thereby, the amount of fuel to be supplied by the fuel valve 36 to the combustor 33 is increased. Thus, the rotational speed of the turbine 34 is increased. That is, when the rotational speed of the turbine 34 is less than the given range, the command unit 150 can make the rotational speed set within the given range. Thus, the control system 1 can set the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500 within the given range according to the operation of the command unit 150.
Also, when the load of the external power system 20 is cut off, the command unit 150 outputs a first signal for outputting the power corresponding to the adjusted value to the power generator 500 to the fuel valve 36 and adjusts the amount of fuel to be supplied to the combustor 33.
Hereinafter, an operation of the control system 1 when the command unit 150 adjusts the amount of fuel by outputting the first signal is described.
When a part of the load of the external power system 20 is cut off, the determination unit 120 determines that the load of the external power system 20 is cut off. Subsequently, the load value acquisition unit 130 acquires a load value. The arithmetic unit 140 calculates an adjusted value based on the load value acquired by the load value acquisition unit 130 and the bias. The command unit 150 outputs the first signal to the fuel valve 36 to adjust the amount of fuel to be supplied to the combustor 33 such that the power generator 5K) outputs the electric power corresponding to the adjusted value.
When the load of the external power system 20 is not cut off, the electric power output by the power generator 500 corresponds to a value obtained by carrying out an addition operation on values of the internal load and the load 13. On the other hand, when the load of the external power system 20 is cut off, the fuel valve 36 receives the first signal as a fuel command value from the command unit 150 and adjusts the amount of fuel to be supplied to the combustor 33. Thereby, the electric power output by the power generator 500 corresponds to the internal load.
As shown in
As shown in
The fuel valve of the other system also decreases the amount of fuel to be supplied to the combustor at time C. However, the other system that adjusts the amount of fuel based on the load value instead of the adjusted value supplies a larger amount of fuel to the combustor after time C than the control system 1. Because the control system 1 supplies the combustor 33 with the amount of fuel based on the adjusted value, the control system 1 supplies the combustor 33 with a smaller amount of fuel decreased by an amount corresponding to the bias compared with the other system that adjusts the amount of fuel based on the load value.
After time C, the command unit 150 of the control system 1 outputs a second signal, which is a signal for changing the electric power output by the power generator 500 from the adjusted value to the value corresponding to the load value over time and adjusts the amount of fuel. Thereby, the fuel valve 36 receives the signal as the fuel command value and adjusts the amount of fuel to be supplied to the combustor 33. That is, an amount of fuel corresponding to the bias gradually becomes zero.
Likewise, after time C, the command unit of the other system also outputs a signal to the fuel valve such that the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator is within a given range. Thereby, the fuel valve receives the signal and adjusts the amount of fuel to be supplied to the combustor 33.
At time C, the amount of fuel supplied by the fuel valve 36 of the control system 1 is different from the amount of fuel supplied by the fuel valve of the other system. However, because the internal load after time C is similar, the amount of fuel supplied by the fuel valve 36 of the control system 1 is similar to the amount of fuel supplied by the fuel valve of the other system.
Before time C, the electric power output by the power generator 500 corresponds to a value obtained by adding the value of the load L3 to the value of the internal load. On the other hand, when the load for the lost load is cut off at time C, the electric power output by the power generator 500 corresponds to the adjusted value. After a given period of time passes from time C, the electric power output by the power generator 500 corresponds to the internal load according to the signal output by the command unit 150.
On the other hand, the electric power output by the power generator of the other system after time C corresponds to the internal load. That is, the electric power output by the power generator of the other system after time C is greater than the electric power output by the power generator 500 of the control system 1 after time C by an amount corresponding to the bias. After the given period of time passes from time C, the electric power output by the power generator 500 of the control system 1 is similar to the electric power output by the power generator of the other system.
Before time C, the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500 is kept within a given range according to the signal output by the command unit 150. Immediately after time C, the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 50) temporarily increase-. Although the load applied to the power generator 500 is decreased by an amount for the lost load front time C as shown in
As shown in
When the control system 1 is in normal operation, the control system 1 issues a fuel command based on the rotational speed of the turbine 34. Thereby, the control system 1 adjusts the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500 such that the frequency is within a given range.
On the other hand, when the load of the external power system 20 is cut off, the control system 1 issues a fuel command based on the internal load and the bias.
Hereinafter, the operation of the control system 1 when the load of the external power system 20 is cut off is described.
The load of the external power system 20 is cut off. Subsequently, the determination unit 120 receives a signal indicating the cutoff from the breaker and determines that the load of the external power system 20 is cut off (step S1).
The load value acquisition unit 130 acquires a load value from the internal facility 60A and the internal facility 600B (step S2). That is, the load value acquisition unit 130 acquires the load value by acquiring a value of the load applied to the power generator 500.
The arithmetic unit 140 calculates an adjusted value by carrying out an arithmetic operation on the load value acquired by the load value acquisition unit 130 in step S2 and a preset bias (step S3).
The command unit 150 outputs a first signal to the fuel valve 36 based on the adjusted value calculated in step S3 (step S4).
The fuel valve 36 receives the signal of step S4 and adjusts an amount of fuel to be supplied to the combustor 33 (step S5). That is, the fuel valve 36 receives the signal output in step S4 as a fuel command value and decreases the amount of fuel to be supplied to the combustor 33.
Because the amount of fuel to be supplied to the combustor 33 in step S5 is small, the electric power output by the power generator 500 is low (step 6). According to step S6, the electric power output by the power generator 500 corresponds to a value obtained by subtracting the bias from the internal load.
The command unit 150 outputs a signal such that the electric power output by the power generator 500 corresponds to the internal load (step S7). Thereby, when a given period of time elapses from step S6, the electric power output by the power generator 500 corresponds to the load value.
When the load of the external power system 20 is cut off, the control system 1 adjusts the electric power output by the power generator 500 such that the electric power corresponds to the adjusted value. Thereby, the surplus in the electric power output by the power generator 500 is decreased immediately after the load of the external power system 20 is cut off. Thus, the control system 1 can stabilize the frequency of the electric power by limiting a change in the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500 when a part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off.
In the control system 1, the control device 100 may be configured to be provided in the gas turbine 30. Even in this case, the command unit 150 of the control device 100 adjusts an amount of fuel to be supplied to the combustor 33 by outputting the first signal for causing the power generator 500 to output the electric power corresponding to the adjusted value to the fuel valve 36.
After the first signal is output, the command unit 150 may adjust the amount of fuel by outputting a plurality of signals such that the power generator 500 outputs electric power corresponding to the load value,
For example, as shown in
According to the present disclosure, the control device 100 for adjusting an amount of fuel to be supplied to the gas turbine 30 based on a rotational speed of the gas turbine 30 such that a frequency of electric power output by the power generator 500 that generates electric power using the gas turbine 30 is within a given range includes the load value acquisition unit 130 configured to acquire a load value that is a value of a load applied to the power generator 500 after cutoff when a part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off; the arithmetic unit 140 configured to calculate an adjusted value that is a value of the load value different from the load value by carrying out an arithmetic operation on the load value and a bias; and the command unit 150 configured to adjust the amount of fuel by outputting a first signal for causing the power generator 500 to output electric power corresponding to the adjusted value.
When a pan of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off, the control device 10 adjusts the electric power output by the power generator 500 such that the electric power corresponds to the adjusted value. Thereby, the surplus in the amount of electric power output by the power generator 500 is decreased immediately after a part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off. Thus, the control device 10 can stabilize the frequency of the electric power by limiting the change in the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500 when a part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off.
After the first signal is output, the command unit 150 of the control device 100 according to the present disclosure adjusts the amount of fuel by outputting a second signal, which is a signal for changing the electric power output by the power generator 500 from an adjusted value to a value corresponding to a load value over time.
Thereby, when the load of the external power system 20 is cut off, the control device 100 can decrease the change in the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500 before and after the cutoff.
Also, when the load of the external power system 20 applied to the power generator 500 is cut off, the load value acquisition unit 130 of the control device 100 acquires the load value that is the value of the load applied to the power generator 500 after the cutoff.
When the load of the external power system 20 is cut off, the control device 100 adjusts the electric power output by the power generator 500 such that the electric power corresponds to the adjusted value. Thereby, the surplus in the electric power output by the power generator 500 is decreased immediately after the load of the external power system 20 is cut off. Thus, when the load of the external power system 20 is cut off, the control device 100 can stabilize the frequency of the electric power by limiting the change in the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500.
Hereinafter, a control system 1 according to a second embodiment is described. The control system 1 according to the second embodiment calculates a bias such that a value of a load of a power generator 500 decreased by cutting off a load of an external power system 20 is proportional to a bias. The control system 1 is a system that transmits a first signal to a fuel valve 36 such that the power generator 500 outputs electric power corresponding to an adjusted value by calculating the adjusted value based on the calculated bias.
A configuration of a control device 100 of the control system 1 according to the second embodiment is a configuration including a bias calculation unit 160 in addition to the configuration of the control device 100 of the control system 1 according to the first embodiment.
The bias calculation unit 160 calculates the bias such that the value of the load of the power generator 500 (hereinafter referred to as the decreased value) decreased due to cutoff of the load of the external power system 20 is proportional to the bias. For example, the bias calculation unit 160 obtains the decreased value by subtracting the load value from a value obtained by carrying out an addition operation on a load L1, a load L2, and a load L3 stored in a storage device (not shown) provided in the control device 100. The decreased value due to the cutoff of the load of the external power system 20 is the same value as the load L3. Subsequently, the bias calculation unit 160 calculates the bias by multiplying the obtained decreased value by a preset coefficient. An example of the above-described coefficient is one or more real numbers. By calculating the bias in this way, the bias calculated by the bias calculation unit 160 is proportional to the decreased value.
The bias calculation unit 160 may calculate the bias according to an arithmetic operation other than a multiplication operation.
Hereinafter, an operation of the control system 1 when the load of the external power system 20 is cut off is described.
The operations front step S1 to step S2 and front step S3 to step S9 are similar to the operations from step S1 to step S2 and from step S3 to step S9 in the control system 1 according to the first embodiment.
The bias calculation unit 160 obtains the decreased value based on the load value identified in step S2 and the value obtained by carrying out an addition operation on the load L1, the load L2, and the load L3 stored in the storage device. Also, the bias calculation unit 160 calculates the bias by multiplying the obtained decreased value by the preset coefficient (step S21).
The bias used when the arithmetic unit 140 calculates the adjusted value in step S3 is the bias calculated in step S21.
The control system 1 calculates the adjusted value based on the bias calculated based on the decreased value due to the cutoff of the load of the external power system 20. Also, the control system 1 outputs a first signal to the fuel valve 36 such that the electric power calculated by the power generator 500 corresponds to the adjusted value. Thereby, the control system 1 can adjust the electric power output by the power generator 500 in accordance with the decreased value due to the cutoff of the load of the external power system 20 and can further stabilize the frequency of the electric power.
The control device 100 according to the present disclosure includes the bias calculation unit 160 configured to calculate a bias such that the value of the load of the power generator 500 decreased due to cutoff is proportional to the bias, and the arithmetic unit 140 calculates the adjusted value by carrying out the arithmetic operation on the load value and the calculated bias.
The control device 100 calculates the adjusted value based on the bias calculated based on the decreased value due to the cutoff of the load of the external power system 20. Also, the control device 10 outputs the first signal to the fuel valve 36 such that the electric power calculated by the power generator 500 corresponds to the adjusted value. Thereby, the control device 10 can adjust the electric power output by the power generator 500 in accordance with the decreased value due to the cutoff of the load of the external power system 20 and can further stabilize the frequency of the electric power.
Although the above embodiments are described above in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to the above and various design changes can be made.
The control device 100 may calculate the bias based on operating conditions associated with at least one of the power generator 500 and the gas turbines 30. Examples of the operating conditions include an atmospheric temperature, a temperature of the power generator 500, a temperature of the gas turbine 30, and an amount of heat of fuel. For example, the control device 100 may include a first correction unit configured to correct the bias based on a value of at least one of a temperature of the gas turbine, an atmospheric temperature around the gas turbine, and an amount of heat of the fuel. The control device 100 can adjust the power output by the power generator 500 based on the adjusted value suitable for an operating condition by calculating the bias as described above and can stabilize the frequency of the electric power.
Also, the control device 100 may calculate the bias based on constraint conditions of the gas turbine 30 such as the surge of the compressor 32 and the combustion stability of the combustor 33. For example, the control device 100 may include a second correction unit configured to correct the bias based on a value of at least one of compressor surge occurring in the gas turbine and stability of the fuel.
The control device 100 can adjust the electric power output by the power generator 500 based on the adjusted value suitable for the constraint condition of the gas turbine 30 by calculating the bias as described above and can stabilize the frequency of the electric power.

Examples of the PLD include a programmable array logic (PAIL), a generic army logic (GAL), a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), and a field programmable gate array (FPGA). In this case, some or all of the functions implemented by the processor 1110 may be implemented by the integrated circuit.
Examples of the storage 1130 include magnetic disks, magneto-optical disks, semiconductor memories, and the like.

(1) According to the present disclosure, the control device 100 for adjusting an amount of fuel to be supplied to the gas turbine 30 based on a rotational speed of the gas turbine 30 such that a frequency of electric power output by the power generator 500 that generates electric power using the gas turbine 30 is within a given range includes the load value acquisition unit 130 configured to acquire a load value that is a value of a load applied to the power generator 50) after cutoff of a part of the load applied to the power generator 500 when the part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off; the arithmetic unit 140 configured to calculate an adjusted value that is a value of the load different from the load value by carrying out an arithmetic operation on the load value and a bias; and the command unit 150 configured to adjust the amount of fuel by outputting a first signal for causing the power generator 500 to output electric power corresponding to the adjusted value.
When the part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off, the control device 100 adjusts the electric power output by the power generator 500 such that the electric power corresponds to the adjusted value. Thereby, the surplus amount of electric power output by the power generator 500 is decreased immediately after the part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off. Thus, the control device 100 can stabilize the frequency of the electric power by limiting a change in the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500 when the part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off.
(2) According to the present disclosure, after the first signal is output, the command unit 150 of the control device 100 may adjust the amount of fuel by outputting a second signal, which is a signal for changing the electric power output by the power generator 500 from the adjusted value to a value corresponding to the load value over time.
Thereby, when the load of the external power system 20 is cut off, the control device 100 can decrease a change in the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500 before and after the cutoff.
(3) Also, the load value acquisition unit 130 of the control device 100 may acquire the load value, which is the value of the load applied to the power generator 500 after cutoff of a load of an external power system 20 applied to the power system 500, when the load of the external power system 20 applied to the power generator 500 is cut off.
When the load of the external power system 20 is cut off, the control device 100 adjusts the electric power output by the power generator 50) such that the electric power corresponds to the adjusted value. Thereby, the surplus amount of electric power output by the power generator 500 is decreased immediately after the load of the external power system 20 is cut off. Thus, the control device 100 can stabilize the frequency of the electric power by limiting a change in the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500 when the load of the external power system 20 is cut off.
(4) According to the present disclosure, the control device 100 may include the bias calculation unit 160 configured to calculate the bias such that a value of the load of the power generator 500 decreased due to the cutoff is proportional to the bias, wherein the arithmetic unit 140 may calculate the adjusted value by carrying out the arithmetic operation on the load value and the calculated bias.
The control device 100 calculates the adjusted value based on the bias calculated based on the decreased value due to the cutoff of the load of the external power system 20. Also, the control device 100 outputs the first signal to the fuel valve 36 such that the electric power calculated by the power generator 500 corresponds to the adjusted value. Thereby, the control system 1 can adjust the electric power output by the power generator 500 in accordance with the decreased value due to the cutoff of the load of the external power system 20 and can further stabilize the frequency of the electric power.
(5) The control device 100 may include a first correction unit configured to correct the bias based on a value of at least one of a temperature of the gas turbine, an atmospheric temperature around the gas turbine, and an amount of heat of the fuel.
Thereby, the control device 100 can correct the bias based on the operating conditions such as the temperature of the gas turbine and the atmospheric temperature, and can further stabilize the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500.
(6) The control device 100 may include a second correction unit configured to correct the bias based on a value of at least one of compressor surge occurring in the gas turbine and stability of the fuel.
Thereby, the control device 100 can correct the bias based on the constraint condition of the gas turbine such a, the compressor surge and can further stabilize the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500.
(7) According to the present disclosure, a control method for use in the control device 100 for adjusting an amount of fuel to be supplied to the gas turbine 30 based on a rotational speed of the gas turbine 30 such that a frequency of electric power output by the power generator 500 that generates electric power using the gas turbine 30 is within a given range includes a step of acquiring a load value that is a value of a load applied to the power generator 500 after cutoff of a part of the load applied to the power generator 500 when the part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut oPt, a step of calculating an adjusted value that is a value different from the load value by carrying out an arithmetic operation on the load value and a bias; and a step of adjusting the amount of fuel by outputting a first signal for causing the power generator 500 to output electric power corresponding to the adjusted value.
When the part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off, a user of the control method can adjust the electric power output by the power generator 500 such that the electric power corresponds to the adjusted value. Thereby, the surplus amount of electric power output by the power generator 500 is decreased immediately after the part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off. Thus, the user of the control method can stabilize the frequency of the electric power by limiting a change in the frequency of the electric power output by the power generator 500 when the part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off.
(8) According to the present disclosure, a program for causing a computer of the control device 100 for adjusting an amount of fuel to be supplied to the gas turbine 30 based on a rotational speed of the gas turbine 30 such that a frequency of electric power output by the power generator 50) that generates electric power using the gas turbine 30 is within a given range to execute: a step of acquiring a load value that is a value of a load applied to the power generator 500 after cutoff of a part of the load applied to the power generator 500 when the part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off; a step of calculating an adjusted value that is a value different from the load value by carrying out an arithmetic operation on the load value and a bias; and a step of adjusting the amount of fuel by outputting a first signal for causing the power generator 500 to output electric power corresponding to the adjusted value.
When the pan of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off, a user of the program can adjust the electric power output by the power generator 500 such that the electric power corresponds to the adjusted value. Thereby, the surplus amount of electric power output by the power generator 500 is decreased immediately after the part of the load applied to the power generator 500 is cut off.
