Abstract: A gas turbine arrangement, a power plant having such a gas turbine arrangement and a method for operating the power plant are provided. A compressor may be mechanically coupled to a turbine which can be driven by combustion gases, such as can be generated by combustion of fuel with the compressed combustion air. An exhaust system may be used to discharge the combustion gases. One or more thermoelectric generators may be thermally coupled to the exhaust system for generating electrical energy from residual heat of the combustion gases which pass in the exhaust system. This gas turbine arrangement allows waste heat from the combustion gases to be utilized and thus the overall efficiency of the gas turbine arrangement can be increased and pollutant emissions may be lowered.

Abstract: A method for retrofitting a fossil-fueled power station is provided. The power station includes a multi-housing stream turbine with a carbon dioxide separation device. As per the method, a suction capability of the steam turbine is adapted for an operation of the carbon dioxide separation device to a process steam to be removed. The carbon dioxide separation device is connected via a process steam line to an intermediate superheating line. Further, an auxiliary condenser is connected to the carbon dioxide separation device. On failure or deliberate switching off of the carbon dioxide separation device surplus process steam is condensed in the auxiliary condenser.

Abstract: A method for operating a gas and steam turbine system having a gas turbine, a steam turbine and a waste heat steam generator is provided herein, wherein steam for the steam turbine can be generated in the exchange of heat with exhaust gas from the gas turbine. Absorption capacity of the steam turbine can be increased and pressure in the waste heat steam generator can be lowered to utilize storage reserves in the waste heat steam generator for increased generation of steam to assist the frequency in the power system starting from a steady-state operating mode. Thermal energy is fed to the waste heat steam generator wherein a power profile of the gas and steam turbine system is greater than or equal to a preceding power level of the steady-state operating mode to increase the absorption capacity of the steam turbine and reduce pressure in the waste heat steam generator.
