A rectangular housing is provided with a plurality of vertically spaced, horizontal partitions defining separate sealed chambers in vertical ascending order for fuel storage, fuel and air combustion, steam boiler, combustion air preheating, steam condensation, turbine drive and electrical generation. Ducts connecting chambers effect forced and thermal syphonic movement of combustion air and combustion gases. Conduits fluid connect the turbine to the condenser and boiler heat exchange units. A powered fan introduces fresh air to the condenser chambers for condensing steam with the air being preheated prior to delivery to the combustion chamber.

A renewable energy cycle system and method thereof is disclosed, wherein the renewable energy cycle system comprises a water softening equipment, an electrolysis hydrogen equipment, at least a combustion boiler equipment, a generator and at least a steam efficacy conversion device. Herein softened water can be electrolyzed into hydrogen and oxygen by means of the electrolysis hydrogen equipment, and the decomposed hydrogen can be transported to the combustion boiler equipment for combustion such that the liquid in the combustion boiler equipment boils and generates saturated vapor pressure. Next, the generated saturated vapor pressure can be outputted into the steam efficacy conversion equipment such that the steam efficacy conversion equipment can convert the steam efficacy into mechanical energy thereby allowing the steam engine in the steam efficacy conversion equipment to rotate in high speed. Then, the generated high speed rotations can draw the generator to cut the internal magnetic lines to perform mechanical operations for power generation, and the electric energy created by the mechanical operations of power generation can be circularly provided to the electrolysis hydrogen equipment as the required electric power for operations thereof so as to achieve the objective of environment protective cycle power supply. |

One of the objects of the invention is to provide a water-saving type advanced humid air gas turbine system (AHAT) that can decrease the amount of makeup water to be supplied from the outside, by reducing the amount of water consumed when the gas turbine system is starting up, shut down, or subjected to load rejection. The gas turbine system includes a compressor, the compressed air header for generating humidified combustion air, a combustor for generating combustion gas, and the turbine. When the gas turbine system is starting up, shut down or subjected to load rejection, steam coming from the heat recovery steam generator is recovered by blocking the first steam system and making the second steam system communicate with the heat recovery steam generator. |

A power plant includes a compressor, a combustor downstream from the compressor and a turbine disposed downstream from the combustor. The compressor includes a compressor extraction port. The turbine includes a turbine extraction port that is in fluid communication with a hot gas path of the turbine and which provides a flow path for a stream of combustion gas to flow out of the turbine. An exhaust duct is disposed downstream from the turbine and receives exhaust gas from the turbine. A static mixer coupled to the turbine extraction port and to the compressor extraction port cools the stream of combustion gas upstream from the exhaust duct. The cooled combustion gas flows into the exhaust duct at a higher temperature than the exhaust gas and mixes with the exhaust gas within the exhaust duct to provide a heated exhaust gas mixture to a heat exchanger downstream from the exhaust duct. |
