Plant for the Generation of Hot Water and/or Steam and for the Storage of Water in Liquid and/or Gaseous Form for Use in a Gas Turbine Power Plant

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention relates to a system for generating hot water and/or steam, as well as storing water in liquid and/or gaseous form, for use in a gas turbine power plant. The system features at least one storage unit where water is heated using energy supplied from at least one external energy source located outside the power plant or the hot water/steam generation unit.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Enhancing the efficiency of gas turbine power plants by external heating and storage systems.
• Integrating renewable or alternative energy sources for heating water or generating steam in power plants.
• Providing backup hot water or steam supplies for industrial processes during peak demand or outages.
• Storing thermal energy for later use in combined heat and power (CHP) plants.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Improves operational flexibility and efficiency of power plants by utilizing external energy sources.
• Enables integration of renewable or cheaper energy sources for heating, reducing fuel consumption and costs.
• Allows for better energy management and storage, helping to meet fluctuating demand.
• Reduces reliance solely on primary gas turbine energy, offering redundancy and increased reliability.
