Abstract:
An integrated power generation system is provided. The system includes an heat source that produces a first gas flow to power a turbine operatively coupled to a compressor. The first gas flow can also heat a feedwater flow passing through a boiler. The compressor can produce a second gas flow that may be divided in two portions, the first portion flowing back to the heat source and the second portion flowing to an end user. Also, the second portion may be routed through an air cooler to dissipate heat to the feedwater flow to cool the second portion as well as preheat the feedwater flow prior to entering the boiler. The first portion can also exchange heat with the first gas flow exiting the boiler prior to the first portion entering the heat source. The boiler operation and the compressor operation are operable independently or concurrently.
