Abstract
A plurality of fuel nozzles X and X in combustor X are supplied with fuel gas from a fuel gas system and fuel oil from a fuel oil system, respectively. Gas turbine operation is performed with fuel being changed over to either gas or oil. Fuel oil distribution control system A controls oil flowing into a plurality of fuel pipings. When oil is changed over to gas, fuel oil purge system B is supplied with air of an appropriate temperature and pressure from purging air supply system C. This air flows into fuel oil pipings and nozzles X for purging residual oil therein. Fuel nozzle wash system D is supplied with water by-passing from a wash water tank for compressor washing. This water flows through nozzles X for washing thereof.
