  • Patent number: 6735947
    Abstract: The invention relates to a steam power plant which consists essentially of a steam generator (1), a turbo group comprising a condensing steam turbine (2) and generator (3), a water-cooled condenser (4) and a bled-steam-heated preheating system. In said steam power plant all components, including the fuel storage area (6), are situated at ground level and in the open air. The turbo group (2, 3) and the condenser (4), the preheating system with associated pumps and the transformers (7) are arranged such that a gantry crane is able to pass over them. The steam generator (1), flue gas cleaning system (16) and the chimney (17) are positioned in a row along a common flue gas axis (18) and the turbo group (2, 3) arranged in the immediate vicinity and parallel thereto. As seen from the main wind direction (9), the coal storage area (6) is positioned downwind from the turbo group (2, 3) and the steam generator (1).
