Latest Patents
Kaneko's latest patents include a "Plant control apparatus, plant control method and power plant." In one embodiment, this apparatus controls a power plant that consists of a gas turbine, a generator driven by the gas turbine, and an exhaust heat recovering boiler. This boiler generates first steam using the heat of exhaust gas from the gas turbine. The system also features a first steam turbine driven by the first steam, a reheater in the boiler that heats exhaust steam from the first steam turbine, and a second steam turbine driven by the reheat steam. The apparatus includes a first warming-up module that supplies second steam from equipment different from the boiler to the first steam turbine to warm it up before starting. Additionally, a second warming-up module supplies the second steam to the reheater to warm it up before the first steam turbine is initiated.
Another embodiment of his patent also focuses on a "Plant control apparatus, plant control method and power plant." This version includes a gas turbine, a generator driven by the gas turbine, and an exhaust heat recovering boiler that generates first steam. It features a steam turbine driven by the first steam and a clutch that connects a first shaft linked to the gas turbine and generator with a second shaft connected to the steam turbine. The apparatus includes a starting module that initiates the gas turbine and generator while keeping the steam turbine in a stop state when the clutch is released. Furthermore, a warming module warms the steam turbine by supplying second steam from equipment different from the boiler in parallel with the starting of the gas turbine and generator.
