  • Hybrid Power Facilities
    Publication number: 20100089059
    Abstract: A hybrid power plant is disclosed wherein a first power plant produces secondary steam of a first, relatively low temperature using a renewable source of energy such as geothermal or solar. The steam from the renewable source plant is passed through a fossil fuel power plant that has an operating temperature higher than that of the first temperature which results in superheating the first temperature steam to the higher temperature in the fossil fuel power plant. Higher efficiencies and reductions in emissions are obtained.
