    摘要: A method (110) of controlling an imbalance response in a power plant comprising first and second gas turbine engines and a steam turbine driven by steam generated by exhaust from the first and second gas turbine engines can comprise operating the first gas turbine engine at a first power output (116A), operating the second gas turbine engine at a second power output (116B), monitoring load demand from a power grid operating at a steady state condition (114), detecting a load imbalance on the power grid (120) that causes a deviation from the steady state condition, and adjusting the first power output and the second power output incongruently (128) during the imbalance response to change the first power output and the second power output to match the deviation from the steady state condition depending on contemporaneous efficiency states of the first and second gas turbine engines.

    摘要: An agent device transmits certain data, which is used for generating display data, of data relating to a plurality of pieces of operation data collected from an instrument to a computation server device. A service broker device relays certain data transmitted from the agent device to the server device. The server device generates display data on the basis of certain data relayed by the service broker device.

    摘要: A control parameter optimizing system and an operation optimizing apparatus equipped therewith are provided, the system being applicable to an existing plant without modifying the control panel or equipment of the plant, the system further being capable of optimizing the operation control of the plant in accordance with diverse operational requirements. The system includes an objective function setting section, a plant model, and a control parameter optimizing section. The control parameter optimizing section includes an optimization control parameter selecting section and an optimization control parameter adjusting section. The optimization control parameter selecting section selects as an optimization control parameter the control parameter for optimizing an objective function based on control logic information extracted from a power plant. The optimization control parameter adjusting section adjusts the value of the optimization control parameter using the plant model in such a manner as to optimize the objective function.

    摘要: A deviation of fuel injection amounts among a plurality of fuel nozzles connected to one fuel header is suppressed while suppressing increases in a manufacturing man-hour count and a pressure loss of a fuel. A gas turbine combustor includes: a liner forming a combustion chamber; a plurality of fuel nozzles; a fuel header to which the plurality of fuel nozzles are connected; and a fuel supply flow passage connected to the fuel header, the fuel header including a first chamber to which the fuel supply flow passage is connected and a second chamber to which the plurality of fuel nozzles are connected. An outlet of the fuel supply flow passage is opened in the first chamber, and at least one communication opening communicating with the first chamber is opened in the second chamber. The outlet of the fuel supply flow passage faces an inner wall surface of the first chamber. The second chamber includes a region spreading from the communication opening toward the combustion chamber, and inlets of the fuel nozzles are disposed closer to the combustion chamber than entirety of the communication opening.

    摘要: This method for manufacturing a high-temperature component formed of a Ni-based alloy includes a step of subjecting a workpiece of the Ni-based alloy to hot die forging using predetermined dies to form a forge-molded article, the step including: a die/workpiece co-heating substep of heating the workpiece interposed between the dies to a forging temperature; and a hot forging substep of taking out the workpiece and the dies into a room temperature environment and immediately performing hot forging on the workpiece using a press machine. The predetermined dies are formed of another Ni-based superalloy comprising γ and γ′ phases, and have features in that: a solvus temperature of the γ′ phase is 1050-1250° C.; and the γ′ phase precipitates at least 10 vol. % at 1050° C. and has two kinds of forms of intra-grain γ′ phase precipitations within the γ phase grains and inter-grain γ′ phase precipitations between/among the γ phase grains.
