  • Supercharged combined cycle system with air flow bypass to HRSG and fan
    Patent number: 9140184
    Abstract: A supercharging system includes a fan providing an air flow, and a prime mover that drives the fan. A duct directs a first portion of the air flow to a gas turbine system, a main bypass subsystem diverts a second portion of the air flow to a heat recovery steam generator; and a drive bypass subsystem that diverts a third portion of the air flow to the prime mover. The prime mover may be one of an aeroderivative gas turbine, a gas turbine, a reciprocating engine, a steam turbine and an induction motor and a variable frequency drive.

  • Supercharged Combined Cycle System With Air Flow Bypass To HRSG And Hydraulically Coupled Fan
    Publication number: 20130318965
    Abstract: A supercharging system for a gas turbine system having a compressor, a combustor, a turbine and a shaft includes a prime mover and a fan assembly that provides an air stream at an air stream flow rate. A hydraulic coupler is coupled to the prime mover and the fan assembly and a second torque converter may couple the supercharger prime mover to an electrical generator. The supercharging system also includes a subsystem for conveying a first portion of the air stream to the compressor, and a bypass subsystem for optionally conveying a second portion of the air stream to other uses.
