A method for operating a gas turbine plant having a compressor and a turbine, where a limit value of a guide blade adjustment for the compressor of the gas turbine is identified depending on at least one drive shaft speed of the gas turbine plant. For the at least one drive shaft speed, a maximum allowable turbine entry temperature corresponding to the limit value of the guide vane adjustment for the compressor or a maximum allowable temperature for the turbine of the gas turbine, which is dependent on the turbine entry temperature, is identified. The gas turbine is operated in consideration of the identified maximum allowable turbine entry temperature or the identified maximum allowable temperature.

Operation of a gas turbine plant having a compressor and a turbine

A gas turbine having a compressor, a turbine unit, at least one combustion chamber and a secondary air system, which secondary air system has at least one cooling line having a compressor-side inlet for removing cooling air from the compressor and a turbine-side outlet for leading the cooling air onward into the turbine unit, wherein the cooling air line at the compressor-side inlet is connected fluidically to a housing opening of the gas turbine which adjoins a cavity in the gas turbine and which, during operation, guides compressor air, and wherein the housing opening is formed as a manhole.
