Abstract:
The invention relates to a combined cycle power plant that includes, a gas turbine plant, a heat recovery steam generator heated by hot waste gases of a gas turbine plant, and a steam turbine plant driven by the steam produced, and a waste gas purification plant, arranged downstream of the heat recovery steam generator in which carbon oxides in the waste gases can be absorbed by an absorber fluid, which is subsequently regenerated at an elevated temperature in a regenerating section while giving up the carbon oxides for supplying to a storage. The regenerating section has a heater for maintaining a necessary elevated temperature for regeneration. The heater operates with steam from the heat recovery steam generator or from the steam turbine plant. The steam condenses and the resulting hot condensate can be supplied to a flash boiler where it, at low pressure, immediately at least partially evaporates. This steam can be supplied to an appropriate stage of the steam turbine plant according to the steam pressure.
Abstract:
A method for producing hot gas for operating a turbomachine fired with at least one combustion chamber includes premixing a fuel with a plurality of operating gases by introducing fuel into the plurality of operating gases in a mixing chamber disposed upstream of the combustion chamber using a burner arrangement, wherein the fuel includes at least one of a combustible gas and a H2-rich fuel; and introducing the premixed fuel into the combustion chamber.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating a combined cycle power plant, which includes a steam turbine powertrain with a high-pressure steam turbine, an intermediate pressure steam turbine and a low-pressure steam turbine, whereby intermediate pressure steam flowing from the exit of the high-pressure steam turbine to the inlet of the intermediate pressure steam turbine is reheated by means of the reheat device, and which is connected to a solar thermal plant, that generates additional solar steam for being used by said steam turbine powertrain. The output of the solar steam generator is used more effectively, and the overall plant performance, flexibility and operability are enhanced by at least part of the additional solar steam reaching the intermediate pressure steam turbine without being reheated in said reheat device.

A combined cycle power generating system, wherein an exhaust gas recirculation line comprises a gas cooling and cleaning device having a packed bed for contacting the exhaust gas from a gas turbine with a cooling and absorption liquid and wherein water utilized as a cooling medium for condensation of steam originating from a steam turbine, and the cooling and absorption liquid, are passed to a cooling tower.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a method for operating a combined cycle power plant with an integrated CO2 capture unit, wherein flue gas of a gas turbine is led along an flue gas path through a heat recovery steam generator, a flue gas cooling circuit and a CO2 absorber. A reduction in effort is achieved by operating the gas turbine to have a back-pressure at its exit, which compensates most or all of the pressure loss of the flue gas along the flue gas path.
