  • Patent number: 11753959
    Abstract: There is provided a turbine power generation system with a single casing configuration capable of easily executing the inhibition of an over-rotation speed. A turbine power generation system in an embodiment includes: a turbine including a turbine casing and a turbine rotor that rotates by a working medium to be introduced into the turbine casing; and a power generator including a power generator rotor connected to the turbine rotor, the power generator being caused to generate power by rotation of the power generator rotor caused by the rotation of the turbine rotor. The turbine casing of the turbine is single, and a moment of inertia of the power generator rotor is larger than a moment of inertia of the turbine rotor.

  • Patent number: 11499445
    Abstract: The invention provides a CO2 turbine power generation system that can be easily prevented from reaching an overspeed condition. A CO2 turbine power generation system of an embodiment includes a CO2 medium shutoff valve installed in a medium flow path between a regenerative heat exchanger and a combustor. When load rejection is to be performed, the CO2 medium shutoff valve closes to shut off the supply of the medium from the regenerative heat exchanger to the combustor.

  • Publication number: 20210262361
    Abstract: There is provided a turbine in which a sufficient measure against windage loss can be executed. In a turbine of an embodiment, a cooling medium higher in pressure and lower in temperature than a working medium is introduced to the inside from the outside of a turbine casing. Here, in at least a turbine stage of an exhaust stage, the cooling medium passes through a stator blade and thereafter passes through a flow path present between rotor blades and a rotor wheel to flow to an exhaust-stage wheel space.

  • Patent number: 10253653
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an exhaust chamber cooling apparatus measures output of a generator driven by a steam turbine, a temperature in an exhaust chamber of the turbine, and a pressure in a condenser that changes steam from the turbine back to water. The apparatus further outputs a first signal when it is detected that a measurement value of the output is larger than a first setting value and a measurement value of the temperature is larger than a second setting value, and a second signal when it is detected that the measurement value of the output is smaller than the first setting value and a measurement value of the pressure or a calculation value obtained from the measurement value of the pressure is larger than a third setting value. The apparatus further controls supply of a cooling fluid into the chamber, based on the first or second signal.
