Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a turbine generation system in which a starting inverter circuit for starting a turbine generator is additionally employed so that the system comprises a high-power generation inverter and the starting inverter with low-power, thereby utilizing the inverter for multiple purposes. To this end, the present invention comprises an inverter control circuit for deactivating a pulse-width modulation inverter for generation connected to a turbine generator, and first switching means for connecting an internal power supply to the turbine generator, wherein the inverter control circuit controls the starting inverter to supply the turbine generator with power to drive it up to a purge speed and accelerate it to a predetermined starting speed.
