Title:
GAS TURBINE ARRANGEMENT, POWER PLANT AND METHOD FOR THE OPERATION THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/026702
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a gas turbine arrangement (10) for a power plant, having a compressor (12) for compressing combustion air, which compressor is coupled, by means of a shaft (22), to a turbine (20) which can be driven by combustion gases, wherein the combustion gases can be generated by combustion of fuel with the compressed combustion air, and also having an exhaust gas system (26) through which the combustion gases can, after passing through the turbine, be discharged into the atmosphere, characterized in that at least one thermoelectric generator (30) for generating electrical energy from the residual heat of the combustion gases is provided in the exhaust gas system. According to the invention, at least one thermoelectric generator for generating electrical energy from the residual heat of the combustion gases is provided in the exhaust gas system. Such a gas turbine arrangement allows waste heat from the combustion gases to be utilized and thus the overall efficiency of the gas turbine arrangement to be increased and the pollutant emissions thereof to be lowered.
