Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A power station having a gas turbine, a generator driven by the gas turbine for generation of electrical power, and a hydrogen cooling circuit for discharging lost heat from the generator, wherein the hydrogen cooling circuit has a feed line for feeding hydrogen from a hydrogen tank into the generator and a discharge line for discharging heated hydrogen from the generator, and wherein the discharge line is connected to a mixing device, such that the heated hydrogen from the discharge line can be mixed with a further fuel and is fed by means of a fuel feed line to the gas turbine.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 .- 4 . (canceled) 5 . A power plant comprising: a gas turbine, a generator driven by the gas turbine for generating electrical energy, and a hydrogen cooling circuit for discharging lost heat from the generator, the hydrogen cooling circuit having a feed line for feeding hydrogen from a hydrogen tank into the generator and a discharge line for discharging heated hydrogen from the generator, and a mixing device, wherein the discharge line is thus connected to the mixing device, so that the heated hydrogen from the discharge line is mixed with a further fuel and this mixture is fed via a fuel feed line to the gas turbine. 6 . The power plant as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the further fuel is natural gas. 7 . The power plant as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising: a separating device for cleaning the heated fuel in the discharge line. 8 . The power plant as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising: control fittings arranged in the discharge line for controlling the pressure and/or the flow rate of the heated hydrogen flowing into the mixing device.
