摘要:
A combined cycle power generating system includes high, intermediate and low pressure vapor turbines (HP,IP,LP) for driving a generator (G) or other load by expanding a multi-component fluid mixture through the turbines. A gas turbine (GT) is drivingly connected to the generator or other load. The expanded multi-component mixture exhausted (34) from the intermediate pressure turbine flows (42,52) in heat exchange relation (54) with the fuel inlet (48) to the combustor (46) for the gas turbine whereby the gas turbine fuel is preheated to reduce fuel consumption of the gas turbine and increase combined cycle efficiency.

A method for recovering energy from bleed air (68) from a compressor (20) of a gas turbine (12) is provided. The method includes directing bleed air (68) from a compressor (20) of a gas turbine (12) into a cooling unit (76). The bleed air (68) is compressed air from the compressor (20), and the bleed air (68) is not directed into a combustion chamber (18) of the gas turbine (12). The method also includes cooling the bleed air (68) within the cooling unit (76). The method further includes expanding the cooled bleed air (68) within a turbo-expander (72) to generate power.
摘要:
A combined cycle system includes gas and steam turbines, a saturator (201) and a fuel gas superheater (202) for supplying moisturized heated fuel gas to the gas turbine, a gas turbine exhaust heat recovery system for generating steam and heating water for the superheater and a saturator heater for a recycle water conduit (211). A constant ratio of water supplied to the fuel gas saturator to dry fuel gas supplied to the fuel gas saturator is maintained by adjusting (203) the flow of the recycle water stream. Additional properties of the moisturized fuel gas, such as temperature, moisture content, composition, and heating value, are also used to control the water recycle stream to supply consistent moisturized fuel gas to the gas turbine system.

Fuel gas is saturated with water heated with a heat recovery steam generator heat source. The heat source is preferably a water heating section (162) downstream of the lower pressure evaporator to provide better temperature matching between the hot and cold heat exchange streams in that portion of the heat recovery steam generator. The increased gas mass flow due to the addition of moisture results in increased power output from the gas and steam turbines (116,118). Fuel gas saturation is followed by superheating the fuel, preferably with bottom cycle heat sources (160), resulting in a larger thermal efficiency gain compared to current fuel heating methods. There is a gain in power output compared to no fuel heating, even when heating the fuel to above the LP steam temperature.

A combined cycle power plant (2) includes a steam turbine section (40, 50, 64) having an inlet section (45, 56, 68) and an outlet section (47, 58, 70). The steam turbine section (40, 50, 64) passes steam from the inlet section (45, 50, 64) toward the outlet section (47, 55, 70). The combined cycle power plant (2) also includes a condenser (100) fluidly connected to the outlet section (47, 50, 64) of the steam turbine section (40, 50, 64). The condenser (100) includes a plurality of heat pipes (146) configured to extract latent heat from steam passing from the steam turbine section (40, 50, 64) to form condensed water.

摘要:
A combined cycle power plant (10) including a gas turbine (12), a steam turbine (18) and a heat recovery generator (24), for thermally connecting the gas turbine (12) and the steam turbine (18). The heat recovery steam generator (24) has a duct (28) for receiving hot exhaust gas (32) from the gas turbine (12). The heat recovery steam generator (24) is also associated with a heating system (34) for receiving feed water (36) for heating to steam. A heat pipe (30) having a first end (29) disposed within the duct (28) operates to remove heat there from. A second end (31) of the heat pipe (30) disposed within the heating system (34) operates to transfer heat to the feed water (36).

An embodiment of the present invention may take the form of a system and method that may use at least at least one solar heating system (175) to heat the fuel consumed by a turbomachine (100). An embodiment of the present invention may incorporate concentrated solar power (CSP). Generally, CSP systems incorporate a plurality of lenses, mirrors, or combinations thereof and a tracking system to focus a large area of sunlight forming a small concentrated beam of light. The concentrated light may then be used as a heat source. In an embodiment of the present invention, the heat source may be used to partially or completely heat the fuel (130) consumed by a turbomachine (100). CSP systems may take the form of a solar trough system (200), a parabolic dish system (200), a solar power tower system (300), or the like.
