A method of operating a plurality of turbo-generators (turbine driven electric generators) arranged in parallel in fluid communication with a gas stream. The method comprises identifying one or more of the turbo-generators which are operating closest to their maximum power output, and adjusting the speed of one or more of the turbo-generators to cause the power outputs of the plurality of turbo-generators to become more similar, and/or to reduce the power of the identified turbo-generators. Also, a method of operating a turbo-generator comprising deterring a mass flow rate through the turbo-generator, determining a speed at which the power of the turbo-generator would be maximised using the determined mass flow rate and a predetermined relationship between turbine speed for maximum power and mass flow rate, and adjusting the speed of the turbo-generator based on the determined speed. |
