Patent number: 9869246Abstract: A method for operating a gas turbine power plant, and a gas turbine power plant in which fresh air is delivered to a compressor inlet and is accelerated in the compressor inlet and a recirculated first exhaust gas substream is delivered into a region of the compressor inlet in which the fresh air is accelerated to an extent such that the difference between total pressure and static pressure in the fresh air is greater than or equal to a pressure difference which is required in order to suck a target mass flow of the recirculated first exhaust gas substream into the compressor inlet.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2014Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: ANSALDO ENERGIA SWITZERLAND AGInventors: Eribert Benz, Jaan Hellat, Hans Wettstein, Robin Payne

Patent number: 9863316Abstract: An improved intake arrangement, for a compressor having a compressor blading, includes a manifold divided by a barrier into two sections, to convey, from one section, a flue gas stream, and, from other section, an air stream. Further, the intake arrangement includes a converging section configured to the manifold and extends convergingly to the compressor defining an inlet to the compressor blading. The converging section includes inner and outer ring members disposed coaxially to each other, between which there extends, coaxially and convergingly, the barrier to at least up to a certain distance within the converging section, defining a converging nozzle therebetween. The converging nozzle includes a mixing feature adapted to enhance mixing of the flue gas and air streams.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2014Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: ANSALDO ENERGIA IP UK LIMITEDInventors: Robin Payne, Eribert Benz

Patent number: 9650956Abstract: An intake arrangement for a compressor in a gas turbine power plant includes at least a passageway having an elongated portion, and a circular portion at an end of the elongated portion. The circular portion may be arranged in proximity to the compressor at around a compressor inlet. The passageway may be divided at least circumferentially and radially across the entire elongated portion and at least partially across the circular portion to configure a plurality of flue gas and air inlet segments for respectively conveying flue gas and air streams therethrough. The flue and air gas streams from each of the respective plurality of flue gas and air inlet segments, converge to be blended into a target mass stream for being conveyed into the compressor.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2014Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: ANSALDO ENERGIA IP UK LIMITEDInventors: Eribert Benz, Robin Payne

Publication number: 20150128608Abstract: A power plant including a gas turbine, a heat recovery boiler arrangement. The gas turbine includes a compressor inlet with a fresh air intake sector and an intake section for recirculated flue gas. A common control element for the control of the fresh air flow and of the recirculated flue gas flow is arranged in the compressor and/or in the compressor intake. Besides the power plant, a method to operate such a power plant is an object of the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2015Publication date: May 14, 2015Inventors: Eribert BENZ, Frank SANDER, Robin PAYNE

Patent number: 7012897Abstract: A link quality agent running in a computer embedded in a device, such as an optical communication transceiver, to monitor an optical signal quality of the link. In one embodiment, avalanche photodiode (APD) and filter wheel values on each side of the free space link as well as packet errors from a distribution switch are monitored. When the link quality agent determines that the free space link is marginal (based on the monitored optical signal quality), the link quality agent configures down the port between the distribution switch and the router on the receive end of the free space link, and forces customer traffic over a backup link. When both ends of the free space link are again functional, the link quality agent configures the port up and routes customer traffic to the free space link.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2003Date of Patent: March 14, 2006Assignee: Terabeam CorporationInventors: Henry Adam Sowizral, Christopher Robin Payne, Ian Gareth Angus, Alan Shelton Wagner, Patrick Neal Harris, Kermit Andreas Hollinger
