Abstract
Provided is a gas turbine control method and control device whereby a design performance and an operating state based on ideal fuel flow rate and air flow rate simulated at the time of designing can be maintained by preventing an operation deviated from an operating condition that is based on ideal fuel flow rate and air flow rate simulated by initial design values, in a gas turbine control method designed to search optimal operating conditions automatically using control inputs such as a pilot ratio. The gas turbine controller comprises a second database that stores load sensitivity, i.e. the correlation between the load amount of a gas turbine and control inputs such as a fuel flow rate, air flow rate, pilot fuel ratio, and top hat fuel ratio in the gas turbine, wherein the amount of load variation for at least one of control inputs, a fuel flow rate or an air flow rate supplied to a combustor is predicted according to operational conditions obtained by searching using the load sensitivity, regulation is made according to the prediction results, and the regulation results are stored in the second database.
