Abstract

An IGV opening command value is corrected to calculate an actual opening equivalent value that indicates an approximate value of an actual opening. A temperature estimation value, for a case where a mixture of fuel and in-flowing air is combusted, is calculated using the actual opening equivalent value, atmospheric conditions, and an output from a gas turbine. A fuel distribution command value that indicates distribution of fuel output from a plurality of fuel supply systems is calculated on the basis of the temperature estimation value. The fuel distribution command value and a fuel control signal command value that indicates the total flow rate of fuel to be output to the plurality of fuel supply systems are acquired, and respective valve openings of fuel flow rate regulating valves of the fuel supply systems are calculated on the basis of the fuel distribution command value and the fuel control signal command value.
