A gas turbine plant having a gas turbine and an associated compressor that is operated to produce compressed air. The compressed air is applied to support the combustion of an ignited fluidized bed of combustible material disposed within a main combustion chamber. Combustion gases from the fluidized bed are applied to drive the turbine and the compressor. Auxiliary heating chambers are employed to heat the combustible material of the fluidized bed to an ignition temperature over a turbine start-up interval. An ignition combustion chamber is connected in parallel with the fluidized bed and is operated during the turbine start-up interval to apply its combustion gases to drive the unloaded or lightly loaded turbine and compressor. |
