Title:
POWER PLANT COMBINING MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC GENERATOR AND GAS TURBINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/100008
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A power plant may include a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator having an MHD exhaust that is cooled using a compressor exit flow to a temperature at which the MHD exhaust can be fed to at least one stage of a gas turbine. The heated compressor exit flow may be used to feed a combustor for the MHD generator. In an alternative embodiment, the gas turbine exhaust may be used in a heat recovery steam generator for a steam turbine system, and then fed back to a compressor for the combustor to the MHD generator. In another embodiment, a power plant may include a compressor exit flow feeding a combustor for an MHD generator and an MHD exhaust may be mixed with a compressor pre-exit, extraction flow for feeding to at least one stage of a gas turbine.
