Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an auxiliary steam production device for producing auxiliary steam for a steam load of a combined cycle power plant that can use steam, which is produced by using waste heat from a gas turbine, to drive a steam turbine. The auxiliary steam production device produces steam by heating pressurized water from a water supply pump provided downstream of a steam drum by means of a pressurized water heating part, and then flash evaporating the heated pressurized water. The auxiliary steam is produced by superheating the produced steam by means of a steam superheating part.

Abstract

This rubbing determination device is for determining rubbing in a rotary machine having a rotation part rotatably supported with respect to a stationary part by a bearing. The device acquires an AE signal from an AE sensor attached to the stationary part. A maximum value and a minimum value of an envelope obtained by performing envelope processing on the temporal change of the AE signal are identified by signal analysis of the AE signal, and a first frequency spectrum corresponding to a first time zone including the maximum value in the temporal change, a second frequency spectrum corresponding to a second time zone including the minimum value in the temporal change, and an average spectrum of the first frequency spectrum and the second frequency spectrum are calculated. A first signal intensity ratio is calculated as a ratio of the signal intensity in a frequency band higher than a reference frequency in the first frequency spectrum with respect to the ratio of the signal intensity in the entire frequency band of the average spectrum. A second signal intensity ratio is calculated as a ratio of the signal intensity in a frequency band higher than the reference frequency in the second frequency spectrum with respect to the ratio of the signal intensity in the entire frequency band of the average spectrum. A first index is calculated as a ratio of the first signal intensity ratio to the second signal intensity ratio. The presence or absence of rubbing is determined on the basis of the first index.

Abstract

In order to control a gas turbine in a rated operation state on the basis of a maximum output command, this gas turbine control device calculates, for an inlet guide vane for adjusting the intake air flow rate of the gas turbine and on the basis of at least one of the atmospheric pressure and the intake air temperature of the gas turbine, the basic target opening degree corresponding to the maximum output command. The opening degree of the inlet guide vane of the gas turbine is controlled on the basis of a target opening degree obtained by using a bias correction value to correct the basic target opening degree. Calculation of the bias correction value is performed such that the target opening degree becomes smaller than the basic target opening degree if the combustion temperature of the gas turbine is lower than the temperature upper limit value corresponding to the maximum output command. If the output of the gas turbine is lower than the rated output value corresponding to the maximum output command, calculation of the bias correction value is performed such that the target opening degree becomes greater than the basic target opening degree.
