  • Publication number: 20240055943
    Abstract: The power plant generates electric power to be provided to an electric grid, the plant including a gas turbine, a steam turbine and one or more electrolyzers that uses electric power to generate hydrogen starting from water; the hydrogen is temporarily stored inside the power plant in a small tank. When power plant energy production exceeds grid energy demand, the electrolyzer is connected to the grid so to usefully consume the electric power not desired by the grid operator at a certain time and generate hydrogen that is used by the gas turbine as a secondary fuel together with a primary fuel.
