Abstract
Apparatus and method are provided to protect a gas engine or turbine used to generate electric power against damage that would otherwise result from changes in the operating characteristics of the engine, for example, changes caused by fluctuation in the heat content of the gaseous fuel. To effect such protection, the engine or turbine is controlled by adjusting the supply of fuel gas to the engine or turbine in response to changes in the output of the electric power generated.
