Claims
- 1. A gas turbine comprising:an air compressor; a gas turbine including at least one high temperature section; driven equipment, said air compressor, said gas turbine and said driven equipment being operatively connected in series; a gas turbine combustor arranged between the air compressor and the gas turbine; a fuel system for supplying a fuel to the gas turbine combustor, said fuel system being provided with a fuel valve; a high pressure air supply system operatively connected to the high temperature section of the gas turbine for supplying high pressure air from the air compressor thereto; a heat exchange section provided for the high pressure air supply system for heating the fuel supplied to the gas turbine combustor from the fuel system; a pressure rising compressor for rising pressure of the high pressure air after heating the fuel and for supplying the high pressure air to at least one of the high temperature sections of the gas turbine as a cooling medium; and at least one high pressure air recovery system provided with a high pressure air recovery check valve for recovering an overall quantity or part of the high pressure air after cooling the at least one of the high temperature sections of the gas turbine to the air compressor, said pressure rising compressor being provided with a bypass system including a check valve and a valve opening control means which closes the fuel valve of the fuel system when an accident happens in the pressure rising compressor while opening a discharge valve provided on an inlet side of the high pressure air recovery check valve of the high pressure air recovery system.
- 2. A gas turbine plant according to claim 1, wherein said valve opening control means serves to close the fuel valve of the fuel system in response to the pressure signal from each of an inlet side and an outlet side of the pressure rising compressor and a rotational speed signal of pressure rising compressor driving equipment while opening a discharge valve provided on the inlet side of the high pressure air recovery check valve of the high pressure air recovery system.
