An integrative control method and device for controlling gas engines is
proposed which is improved load responsivity of the engine in transient
operation. The control method comprises a speed control process for
controlling engine rotation speed by controlling the fuel gas flow
control valve based on deviation of actual engine rotation speed from a
target command value of rotation speed, and an air fuel ratio control
process for controlling air fuel ratio of fuel-air mixture by controlling
throttle valve opening based on deviation of the actual mixture flow rate
from the command value of mixture flow rate, whereby at least either fuel
gas flow correction or fuel-air mixture flow correction is performed when
time-series variation of input signals relating to performance change of
the gas engine exceeds a reference range determined beforehand, the fuel
gas flow correction being performed by correcting control variables of
the fuel gas flow control valve in the speed control process, and the
mixture flow correction being performed by correcting opening of the
throttle valve in the air fuel ratio control process.
