Abstract

This gas turbine equipment comprises a gas turbine and a control device. A combustor of the gas turbine uses ammonia as fuel, and uses the RQL method. A compressor of the gas turbine includes an intake adjustor that adjusts an intake rate which is the flow rate of air that flows into a compressor casing. When the concentration of NOx in exhaust gas reaches or exceeds a predetermined value, the control device controls the operation of the intake adjustor so that the intake rate decreases.
