    摘要: A combined cycle power plant including a gas turbine engine having a compressor inlet and a turbine outlet that is configured to discharge a first exhaust gas stream therefrom. A heat recovery steam generator is configured to receive the first exhaust gas stream, extract heat from the first exhaust gas stream to make steam, and discharge a second exhaust gas stream therefrom. A steam turbine is configured to discharge a steam stream therefrom, a carbon capture system is configured to receive the steam stream, a recirculation blower is configured to pressurize a portion of the second exhaust gas stream for recirculation towards the compressor inlet, and an air inlet blower is configured to pressurize an airflow stream channeled towards the compressor inlet, such that a pressurized mixed flow stream, formed from the portion of the second exhaust gas stream and the airflow stream, is received at the compressor inlet.

    摘要: Systems and generating power in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) operation to supply electrical power. In embodiments, an inlet temperature of a flow of gas from a source to an ORC unit may be determined. The source may connect to a main pipeline. The main pipeline may connect to a supply pipeline. The supply pipeline may connect to the ORC unit thereby to allow gas to flow from the source to the ORC unit. Heat from the flow of gas may cause the ORC unit to generate electrical power. The outlet temperature of the flow of the gas from the ORC unit to a return pipe may be determined. A flow of working fluid may be adjusted to a percentage sufficient to maintain temperature of the flow of compressed gas within the selected operating temperature range.

    摘要: A heat recovery system arranged to be used together with a first closed loop system (S1) configured as a first closed-loop thermodynamic Rankine cycle system, to convert heat from a heat generating unit (1) into electrical energy (E). Said heat recovery system comprising a second closed loop system (S2) comprising a second system working medium (W2) configured as a second closed-loop thermodynamic Rankine cycle system arranged to convert the heat in at least one heat stream (HS1) generated by the heat generating unit (1) into a first batch (E1) of electrical energy (E) and a third closed loop system (S3) comprising a circulating third system working medium (W3). In the second closed-loop thermodynamic Rankine cycle system the condensation heat enthalpy of a vaporised second working medium (W2) is transferred to said third system working medium (W3) and the heat from the third system working medium (W3) is used as an initial thermal input to the second closed loop system (S2), thus converting heat from the third system working medium (W3) into a second batch (E2) of electrical energy (E). The invention also relates to a method to use a heat recovery system together with a first closed loop system configured as a first closed-loop thermodynamic Rankine cycle system, to convert heat from a heat generating unit into electrical energy.
