  • Method for starting a steam turbine
    Patent number: 10253654
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for starting a steam turbine. The method involves pre-warming the steam turbine with a steam in which 65% of an energy used to pre-warming the steam turbine is derived from a latent heat energy of the steam.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 6, 2015
    Date of Patent: April 9, 2019
    Assignee: General Electric Technology GmbH
    Inventors: Erhard Liebig, Jean-Marie Gut, Hansjörg Klaiber, Martin Schoenenberger, Goran Hajko
  • Fast Frequency Response Systems with Thermal Storage for Combined Cycle Power Plants
    Publication number: 20180094546
    Abstract: This application provides a fast frequency response system for use with combined cycle power plants. Example systems may include a buffer vessel configured to store steam, a heat recovery steam generator configured to output a high pressure steam flow and a hot reheat steam flow, and a steam turbine configured to receive the high pressure steam flow and/or a reheat pressure steam flow. The buffer vessel may be configured to receive a portion of the high pressure steam flow and discharge steam.
