摘要:
The invention relates to a method for operating a gas-and-steam combined cycle power station (10), in which hot steam is produced using exhaust gas from a gas turbine (12) and serves to drive at least one generator (30), using at least one turbine device (22), in order to produce electrical current, said method comprising the following steps: - branching off at least one portion of the produced steam and storing the branched-off steam in a steam accumulator (34); - conducting at least one portion of the steam stored in the steam accumulator (34) out of said steam accumulator (34); - heating the steam conducted out of the steam accumulator (34) using heat which is released in an exothermal chemical reaction; and - conducting the heated steam to the turbine device (22) which is driven using the supplied heated steam.

An improved power plant employing a combination of compressed air storage and saturation (simultaneous heating and humidification) of compressed air is disclosed. The power plant (20A) includes a combustor (26) which provides hot gas for driving a turbine (24). The turbine (24) is used in conjunction with a generator (34) to generate electrical power. The power from the turbine (24) is accessible by a compressor system (40) during low power demand periods. The compressor system (40) is used to compress air which is stored in an air storage chamber (52). The compressed air from the air storage chamber (52) is used by the combustor (26) during high power demand periods, while the compressor system (40) is shut down, to provide compressed combustion gas to the turbine (24). To enhance the efficiency of the plant, while further lowering the capital cost of the plant, a saturator (60) is positioned between the storage chamber (52) and the combustor (26). The saturator (60) receives compressed air from the storage chamber (52) and simultaneously heats and humidifies it. The resultant heated and humidified compressed air is then conveyed to the combustor (26), typically after further heating by a recuperator (70).

The present invention describes a system (100) for storing thermal energy and a method for operating such a system (100). The system (100) comprises a thermal storage device (150) for storing thermal energy. A working fluid is streamable through the thermal storage device (150) in such a way that thermal energy is exchangeable between the thermal storage device (150) and the working fluid. The system (100) further comprises a steam generation device (110) for heating a steam turbine working fluid of a steam turbine system (120), a connecting line (140) which connects the thermal storage device (150) with the steam generation device (110) in such a way that the working fluid is feedable to the steam turbine system (120) for heating the steam turbine working fluid, and a preheat device (180). The preheat device (180) is connected between the thermal storage device (150) and the steam generation device (110) in such a way that the preheat device (180) and a bypass section (141) of the connecting line (140) are connected in parallel in such a way that a preheat portion of the working fluid is flowable through the preheat device (180), and a bypass portion of the working fluid is flowable through the bypass section (141) of the connecting line (140).

Systems and methods for selectively producing steam from solar collectors and heaters, for processes including enhanced oil recovery. A system in accordance with a particular embodiment includes a water source, a solar collector that includes a collector inlet, a collector outlet, and a plurality of solar concentrators positioned to heat water passing from the collector inlet to the collector outlet, a fuel-fired heater, a steam outlet connected to an oil field injection well, and a water flow network coupled among the water source, the solar collector, the heater, and the steam outlet. The system can further include a controller operatively coupled to the water flow network and programmed with instructions that, when executed, direct at least one portion of the flow through the solar collector and the fuel-fired heater in a first sequence, and direct the at least one portion or a different portion of the flow through the solar collector and the fuel-fired heater in a second sequence different than the first sequence.
