ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a reformed-fuel-burning gas turbine system that constantly generates good-quality reformed fuel even when heavy fuel has a different composition.The reformed-fuel-burning gas turbine system according to the present invention comprises a heavy oil heater; a water heater; a reformer vessel for mixing high-temperature, high-pressure water with high-temperature, high-pressure heavy oil to cause a hydrothermal reaction and producing reformed fuel from heavy oil; and a gas turbine which operates on the reformed fuel. The reformed-fuel-burning gas turbine system according to the present invention further comprises a detector for detecting the static dielectric constants or solubility of high-temperature, high-pressure heavy oil heated by the heavy oil heater and high-temperature, high-pressure water heated by the water heater; a first temperature regulating valve for adjusting the thermal dose of the heavy oil heater; a second temperature regulating valve for adjusting the thermal dose of the water heater; and a control device for adjusting the first temperature regulating valve and the second temperature regulating valve in accordance with the static dielectric constants or solubility of the heavy oil and water, which are detected by the detector, in order to control the static dielectric constants or solubility of the high-temperature, high-pressure heavy oil and high-temperature, high-pressure water, which are to be supplied to the reformer vessel.
