  • Method and apparatus for generating electricity using a thermal power plant
    Patent number: 10329959
    Abstract: A method for generating electricity by means of a thermal power plant and a liquid vaporization apparatus involves producing heat energy by means of the power plant and using the heat energy to vaporize water or to heat water vapor, expanding the water vapor formed in a first turbine and using the first turbine to drive an electricity generator in order to produce electricity, vaporizing liquefied gas coming from a cryogenic storage in order to produce pressurized gas, reheating the pressurized gas with a part of the water vapor intended for the first turbine of the power plant and expanding the pressurized fluid in a second turbine to produce electricity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 17, 2014
    Date of Patent: June 25, 2019
    Assignee: L'Air Liquide Societe Anonyme pour L'Etude Et L'Exploitation Des Procedes Georges Claude

  • Method and apparatus for generating electricity and storing energy using a thermal or nuclear power plant
    Patent number: 10196940
    Abstract: A method for generating electricity by means of a nuclear power plant and a liquid vaporization apparatus involves, during a first period, producing heat energy by means of the nuclear power plant and using the heat energy to vaporize water or to heat water vapor, expanding the water vapor formed in a first turbine and using the first turbine to drive an electricity generator in order to produce electricity, vaporizing liquefied gas coming from a cryogenic store in order to produce pressurized gas, reheating the pressurized gas with a part of the water vapor intended for the first turbine of the nuclear power plant and expanding the pressurized fluid in a second turbine to produce electricity and, during the second period, liquefying the gas to be vaporized.
