  • Patent number: 6682306
    Abstract: The moving blades are configured so as to meet a condition: (L+3D)×f≧14,500 or L×(L+D)×f2≧1.55×107, where L is an effective length of the moving blade measured in inches, D is a blade root circle diameter of the moving blades measured in inches, and f is the rated operating speed of the turbine measured in Hz. The moving blades are formed of a titanium alloy. The dovetail has an Christmas-tree shape, and is a curved-axial-entry. The moving blades are configured and arranged so as to meet a condition: 3.5≦P/W≦7.0 or 0.8≦P/C≦1.0, where W is a width of a section of a tip of the moving blade measured along an axis of the rotor wheel, P is pitch of the moving blades, and C is a chord length of the tip section of the moving blade. Adjacent moving blades are connected to each other in such a manner that the adjacent moving blades being capable of relative movement while the adjacent moving blades being connected to each other.

  • Patent number: 6604354
    Abstract: A combined cycle power plant generally comprises a gas turbine power facility, a heat recovery steam generator, a steam turbine power facility, and an existing boiler. The power generation plant further comprises a system for introducing steam, which is generated in the heat recovery steam generator and the existing boiler, to the steam turbine of the steam turbine power facility through steam lines, which extend from the existing boiler and heat recovery steam generator and are then joined together, and a system for causing a line, which is arranged on a downstream side of a condenser provided in the steam turbine power facility, to branch off into feedwater lines, and supplying condensed water condensed by the condenser into the heat recovery steam generator and the existing boiler.
