Abstract

A consumption amount of high-calorific gas such as coke oven gas (COG) during operation of a gas turbine is reduced, halt of the gas turbine due to clogging of a pilot system, a malfunction of a compressor which compresses high-calorific gas is prevented, and reliability of the gas turbine is improved. When operation of the gas turbine (11) starts, with use of both a first fuel supply system (31) which supplies a high-calorific fuel for a first nozzle constituting a combustor (17), and a second fuel supply system (32) which supplies a low-calorific fuel for a second nozzle constituting the combustor (17), the high-calorific fuel and the low-calorific fuel are supplied to the combustor (17), and at a time when the gas turbine (11) reaches output power which enables continuous operation with only the low-calorific fuel, supply of the high-calorific fuel to the combustor (17) is shut off, and only the low-calorific fuel is supplied to the combustor (17).
