SYSTEM FOR RECOVERING EXHAUST GAS ENERGY
The invention relates to a system (12) for the recovery of energy from exhaust gases from at least one turboshaft engine, comprising a turbine (34) fitted rotatably around a recovery shaft (40), adapted to bleed off at least a part (14) of the exhaust gases, known as bleed gases (14), and to expand said bleed gases (14) to become expanded gases (42) at a pressure below atmospheric pressure, a first heat exchanger (44), adapted to use a cold source (45) to cool said expanded gases (42) to become cooled gases (46), and a compressor (36) fitted rotatably around said recovery shaft (40), adapted to compress said cooled gases (46) to atmospheric pressure.
System, method and computer program for operating a land- or marine-based multi-spool gas turbine
The present invention is a system, method and computer program for operating a land-or marine-based multi-spool gas turbine system for generating electrical power to supply a load, wherein the system comprises a multi-spool gas turbine engine, and the method comprises controlling the rotational speeds of the at least two generators independently of each other so as to directly control the rotational speeds of the shafts of the spools, the at last two generators being operable to generate electrical current to supply the load, and regulating the amount of heat generated the first heat generating equipment. A computer program to perform the method is also disclosed.
Turbine engine with inverse Brayton cycle
An engine system includes a turbine engine including a compressor section, a combustor section having a burner, a turbine section, and a nozzle in an open-loop configuration. The engine system also includes a bottom-cycle apparatus and an exhaust heat exchanger downstream of the turbine section of the turbine engine configured to reject heat from the turbine engine to the bottoming-cycle apparatus and create a cooled turbine exhaust in the turbine engine. The engine system further includes an exhaust compressor arranged downstream of the exhaust heat exchanger and upstream of the nozzle of the turbine engine configured to compress the cooled turbine exhaust stream and increase a pressure of the cooled turbine exhaust stream prior to exiting the nozzle of the turbine engine.
