Calories of a first mixed gas are predicted by calculations based on the
mixed flow rate of a blast furnace gas and the mixed flow rate of a
converter gas measured by flow meters, and preset blast furnace gas
calories and converter gas calories; the flow rate ratio of the mixed
flow rate of a coke oven gas to a gas turbine consumed fuel gas flow rate
is calculated based on the predicted calories, set calories, and preset
coke oven gas calories; the mixed flow rate required value of the coke
oven gas is calculated based on the flow rate ratio and a gas turbine
fuel gas requirement signal corresponding to the gas turbine consumed
fuel gas flow rate; and the opening of a coke oven gas flow control valve
provided in a fuel gas production system is controlled, based on the
mixed flow rate required value, to control the mixed flow rate of the
coke oven gas.
