A two-shaft gas turbine of the present invention, in which a mass flow of an air into a compressor is regulated by controlling a set angle of an inlet guide vane (IGV) on an air intake side of the compressor, comprises, as a device to control the set angle of the IGV, a first controller to control the set angle of the IGV based on a corrected speed of the gas generator shaft during low speed rotation of the gas generator shaft, the corrected speed having been corrected according to an ambient temperature; a second controller to control the set angle of the IGV to maintain a constant actual speed of the gas generator shaft during high speed rotation of the gas generator shaft; and an ambient temperature correction part to increase the actual speed maintained constant by the second controller if the ambient temperature is equal to or more than a threshold value.

Two-shaft gas turbine, and control system and control method of the gas turbine

A 2-shaft gas turbine has a controller which controls the opening degree of an air inlet guide vane to adjust the inlet mass flow rate to a compressor. The air inlet guide vane control unit includes a first control unit that adjusts the opening degree of the inlet guide vane to keep the speed of a high pressure turbine shaft constant; a control status confirmation unit that confirms the actual speed and the opening degree of the inlet guide vane; and a low ambient temperature correction unit that reduces the actual speed in a case where the actual speed is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the opening degree of the inlet guide vane is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, and the ambient temperature is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value.
