摘要: A balanced grid valve for steam extraction from a multi-stage steam turbine comprising a first balancing chamber and a second balancing chamber which are configured to receive steam at high pressure through at least one duct. The balancing chambers are preferably in the form of annular grooves and are arranged at two different radial distances from the axis of the valve in order to reduce mechanical distortion of the valve.

摘要: A system for readying sub-critical and super-critical steam generator, a servicing method of the sub-critical and the super-critical steam generator and a method of operation of sub-critical and super-critical steam generator is provided. The steam generator includes a first auxiliary heating device disposed on at least one water-steam separator for heating the at least one water-steam separator, and/or a second auxiliary heating device disposed at least on a part of furnace top-end piping for heating the furnace top-end piping. The auxiliary heating devices are heating steam producing components of the steam generator and thus allowing to keep them above the temperature in which materials creating the steam producing components are brittle. The method includes recirculation of the water through the steam generator.

摘要: Systems and methods for variable pressure inventory control of a closed thermodynamic cycle power generation system or energy storage system, such as a reversible Brayton cycle system, with at least a high pressure tank and an intermediate pressure tank are disclosed. Operational parameters of the system such as working fluid pressure, turbine torque, turbine RPM, generator torque, generator RPM, and current, voltage, phase, frequency, and/or quantity of electrical power generated and/or distributed by the generator may be the basis for controlling a quantity of working fluid that circulates through a closed cycle fluid path of the system.

摘要: A steam turbine includes: a partition section that partitions a high-pressure stage and a low-pressure stage; and a pressure regulation valve that regulates a pressure of extraction steam. The pressure regulation valve includes: a plurality of flow rate regulation valves; and a plurality of flow path compartments that correspond to the respective flow rate regulation valves and that communicate with the low-pressure stage side relative to the partition section through respective nozzle holes. The plurality of flow path compartments are arranged over the entire partition section in a circumferential direction in a region including an outer peripheral side of the pressure regulation valve relative to the partition section as a whole. The partition section includes a bypass passage that makes the high-pressure stage side and the low-pressure stage side communicate with each other without passing through the pressure regulation valve.

摘要: Systems and methods relating to use of external air for inventory control of a closed thermodynamic cycle system or energy storage system, such as a reversible Brayton cycle system, are disclosed. A method may involve, in a closed cycle system operating in a power generation mode, circulating a working fluid may through a closed cycle fluid path. The closed cycle fluid path may include a high pressure leg and a low pressure leg. The method may further involve in response to a demand for increased power generation, compressing and dehumidifying environmental air. And the method may involve injecting the compressed and dehumidified environmental air into the low pressure leg.
