  • Patent number: 9453432
    Abstract: To provide a power generation system that recovers heat from low-temperature exhaust gas of not more than 150° C. and utilizes the heat to increase an amount of generated electric power of a steam turbine, whereby efficiency in thermal use can be improved. A power generation system includes heat exchangers and configured to exchange heat of a heat medium and heat of water, and a vacuum flasher configured to supply steam to a vacuum stage of a steam turbine, wherein heat media are supplied to the heat exchangers and so as to generate a water fluid having a temperature exceeding a water boiling point under vacuum of a vacuum stage, the water fluid is supplied to the vacuum flasher to generate steam under vacuum of the vacuum stage, and the steam is introduced into the vacuum stage of the steam turbine, whereby an amount of generated electric power is increased.
