Abstract

A cogeneration system in which cold is generated by recovering exhaust heat of a gas turbine for driving a generator to drive a refrigerating machine, and the cold is used for cooling intake air for the gas turbine and as a cold heat source for an air conditioner, wherein there are provided a thermal storage tank for storing the cold generated by the refrigerating machine and an electric energy storage equipment for storing electric energy generated by the generator; and cooling of the intake air for the gas turbine, thermal storage, and electric energy storage are controlled in relation to the load of the air conditioner and the electric power load of the generator.
