A combined cycle power plant includes a first compressor that produces a compressed working fluid and a turbine downstream of the first compressor. The turbine includes stationary components and rotating components and produces an exhaust. A heat exchanger downstream of the turbine receives the exhaust from the turbine, and a second compressor downstream of the heat exchanger and upstream of the turbine receives the exhaust from the heat exchanger and provides a flow of exhaust to the turbine. A method for reducing oxygen emissions from a gas turbine includes flowing an exhaust from a turbine to a heat exchanger and removing heat from the exhaust. The method further includes increasing the pressure of the exhaust to produce a pressurized exhaust and flowing the pressurized exhaust back to the turbine to remove heat from the turbine.

A system adapted for clearance control for a gas turbine including an outer turbine casing, an inner turbine casing and a plenum defined between the inner and outer turbine casings is disclosed. The clearance control system may include an impingement box disposed within the plenum. The impingement box may define a plurality of impingement holes. In addition, the clearance control system may include a first conduit in flow communication with the interior of the impingement box and a second conduit in flow communication with the plenum at a location exterior to the impingement box.

The present application and the resultant patent provide a gas turbine engine generator system. The gas turbine engine generator system may include a turbine, a generator, and a shaft. The turbine drives the generator via the shaft. A torsional damping coupling may be positioned about the shaft so as to limit the transmission of torque to the turbine during a generator based fault event.

A power plant arrangement and method of operation are provided. The power plant arrangement comprises at lease one main air compressor and one or more gas turbine assemblies. Each assembly comprises a turbine combustor for mixing a portion of a compressed ambient gas flow with a portion of a recirculated low oxygen content gas flow and a fuel stream, and burning the combustible mixture to form the recirculated low oxygen content flow. The assembly further comprises a turbine compressor, fluidly connected to the turbine combustor, and connected to a turbine shaft that is arranged to be driven by rotation of a turbine. The assembly also comprises a recirculation loop for recirculating at least a portion of the recirculated low oxygen content gas flow from the turbine to the turbine compressor.

A gas turbine engine nozzle is described. The gas turbine engine nozzle includes at least one nozzle vane having a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to an inner sidewall and the second end is coupled to an outer sidewall. The gas turbine engine nozzle also includes at least one stress relief pocket defined within at least one of the inner sidewall and the outer sidewall proximate to the at least one nozzle vane. The at least one stress relief pocket is configured to reduce stress on the proximate nozzle vane.

Blade load path on a gas turbine disk can be diverted to provide a significant disk fatigue life benefit. A plurality of gas turbine blades are attachable to a gas turbine disk, where each of the gas turbine blades includes a blade dovetail engageable in a correspondingly-shaped dovetail slot in the gas turbine disk. In order to reduce gas turbine disk stress, an optimal material removal area is defined according to blade and/or disk geometry to maximize a balance between stress reduction on the gas turbine disk, a useful life of the gas turbine blade, and maintaining or improving the aeromechanical behavior of the gas turbine blade. Removing material from the material removal area effects the maximized balance.
摘要:
Ambient air is compressed into a compressed ambient gas flow with a main air compressor. The compressed ambient gas flow having a compressed ambient gas flow rate is delivered to a turbine combustor and mixed with a fuel stream having a fuel stream flow rate and a portion of a recirculated low oxygen content gas flow to form a combustible mixture. The combustible mixture is burned and forms the recirculated low oxygen content gas flow that drives a turbine. A portion of the recirculated low oxygen content gas flow is recirculated from the turbine to the turbine compressor using a recirculation loop. The compressed ambient gas flow rate and the fuel stream flow rate are adjusted to achieve substantially stoichiometric combustion. An excess portion, if any, of the compressed ambient gas flow is vented. A portion of the recirculated low oxygen content gas flow is extracted using an extraction conduit.
摘要:
At least one main air compressor makes a compressed ambient gas flow. The compressed ambient gas flow is delivered to a turbine combustor at a pressure that is greater than or substantially equal to an output pressure delivered to the turbine combustor from a turbine compressor as at least a first portion of a recirculated gas flow. A fuel stream is delivered to the turbine combustor, and a combustible mixture is formed and burned, forming the recirculated gas flow. A turbine power is produced that is substantially equal to at least a power required to rotate the turbine compressor. At least a portion of the recirculated gas flow is recirculated through a recirculation loop. An excess portion of the recirculated gas flow is vented or a portion of the recirculated gas flow bypasses the turbine combustor or both.
