Abstract
In a generator system having a gas turbine (1) and a generator (2), which is driven by the gas turbine (1), an electricity supply network (5) is supplied from an energy reservoir (6) when the output of the gas turbine (1) is inadequate in the case of a load change. In order to overcome the inertia of the gas turbine (1), energy is additionally supplied from the energy reservoir (6) to the generator (2) which, acting as a motor, accelerates the gas turbine (1) until it at least has the output demanded by the network.
