Abstract:
An adjustable speed gas turbine power generation apparatus comprising:a compressor for taking in and compressing air;a combustor for combusting fuel with the compressed air from the compressor to generate combustion gas;;a gas turbine driven by the generated combustion gas;a fuel control device for controlling an amount of fuel to be supplied to the combustor in response to a load demand signal; anda power generator having a primary winding connected to a power transmission system and a secondary winding which is excited with alternating current; and whereinthe generator and compressor are connected to the gas turbine by a drive shaft, and wherein a rotational speed of the drive shaft increases to adjust an output of the gas turbine in response to an increase in the load demand signal and an increase in the ambient temperature.
