Abstract

A control apparatus for controlling a compressor driven by a driving unit generating driving power by a gas turbine and an electric motor includes: a temperature detection section for detecting an exhaust gas temperature of the gas turbine; and a control section for generating a motor torque instruction value for the electric motor based on the detected exhaust gas temperature. Such a control apparatus can realize a control so as not to distribute a load on the electric motor when the exhaust gas temperature of the gas turbine is low and a driving power is low. As a result, the operation efficiency can be enhanced.
