Abstract
A combustor replacement method and a gas turbine plant capable of efficiently replacing a combustor using an existing facility. The combustor replacement method includes a step of separating, from a plurality of fuel supply systems, a first combustor that includes a plurality of nozzle systems connected to any of the plurality of fuel supply systems and supplied with fuel from the connected fuel supply systems, and removing the first combustor from a gas turbine plant. The method includes a step of attaching a second combustor that includes fewer nozzle systems than the first combustor to the gas turbine plant, and a step of providing communication between the fuel supply systems connected to the same nozzle system of the second combustor by a coupling pipe, and coupling the fuel supply systems and the second combustor.
