System For Controlling Steam Temperature

View page
US Patent:
7168233, Jan 30, 2007
Filed:
Dec 12, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/301658
Inventors:
Raub Warfield Smith - Ballston Lake NY, US
Barrett David Gardiner - Malta NY, US
S. Can Gulen - Niskayuna NY, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F02C 6/00
US Classification:
60 39182, 60653, 60679
Abstract:
A system for controlling steam temperature that includes steam circuit including a reheater circuit, at least one reheater dilution region, at least one reheater dilution conduit, and at least one reheater supply region disposed upstream of the at least one reheater dilution region, wherein the at least one reheater supply region and the at least one reheater dilution region are associated via the reheater circuit and the at least one reheater dilution conduit.

Gas Turbine Inlet Conditioning System And Method

View page
US Patent:
7644573, Jan 12, 2010
Filed:
Apr 18, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/405482
Inventors:
Raub Warfield Smith - Ballston Lake NY, US
Seyfettin Can Gülen - Niskayuna NY, US
Barrett David Gardiner - Malta NY, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F02G 1/00
F02G 3/00
US Classification:
60 39182, 60 39511, 60775
Abstract:
A system capable of both increasing warm day output and maintaining compressor operating margin across the ambient and load range of a gas turbine combined cycle installation. The proposed solution takes advantage of the fact that both goals can be satisfied by manipulation of compressor inlet air temperature. Specifically, the system is designed to heat inlet air as may be required to maintain safe compressor operating margin at low ambient air temperatures or when burning dilute fuels. In the alternative, the system is designed to cool inlet air on warm days.

Nitrogen Cooled Gas Turbine With Combustor Nitrogen Injection And Partial Nitrogen Recycling

View page
US Patent:
8186169, May 29, 2012
Filed:
Oct 22, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/910033
Inventors:
Barrett David Gardiner - Malta NY, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F02C 7/18
US Classification:
60783, 60 3912, 60806
Abstract:
A nitrogen source supplies a flow of nitrogen to a cooling circuit in the turbine section of a gas turbine. The nitrogen in the cooling circuit absorbs heat from the turbine section and flows to a flow divider where the heated nitrogen is split into a combustor flow and a return flow. The combustor nitrogen flow is injected into the gas turbine combustor. The return nitrogen flow is returned to the flow of nitrogen supplied to the gas turbine cooling circuit.

Power Plant

US Patent:
20130167557, Jul 4, 2013
Filed:
Jan 4, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/343226
Inventors:
Kihyung Kim - Atlanta GA, US
Barrett David Gardiner - Malta NY, US
Diego Fernando Rancruel - Mauldin SC, US
Assignee:
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F25J 3/08
F25B 9/02
US Classification:
62 5, 62640
Abstract:
A power plant includes a compressor configured to compress inlet air for combustion. The power plant also includes an air separation unit configured to receive and remove nitrogen from an air supply. The power plant further includes a fluid manipulator operably coupled to the air separation unit and the compressor, wherein the fluid manipulator is configured to receive nitrogen removed from the air separation unit at an inlet pressure and an inlet temperature and produce a modified pressure and a modified temperature of the nitrogen prior to selectively delivering the nitrogen to the compressor.

Fuel Moisturization Control

View page
US Patent:
6502402, Jan 7, 2003
Filed:
Nov 9, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/711157
Inventors:
Raub Warfield Smith - Ballston Lake NY
Jatila Ranasinghe - Niskayuna NY
Barrett David Gardiner - Malta NY
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F02C 330
US Classification:
60775, 60 393, 60 3953, 60737
Abstract:
A combined cycle system includes gas and steam turbines, a saturator and a fuel gas superheater for supplying moisturized heated fuel gas to the gas turbine, a gas turbine exhaust heat recovery system for generating steam and heating water for the superheater and a saturator heater for a recycle water conduit. A constant ratio of water supplied to the fuel gas saturator to dry fuel gas supplied to the fuel gas saturator and Wobbe number is maintained by adjusting the flow of the recycle water stream. Additional properties of the moisturized fuel gas, such as temperature, moisture content, composition, and heating value, are also used to control the water recycle stream to supply consistent moisturized fuel gas to the gas turbine system.

Combined Cycle Power Plant With Absorption Heat Transformer

View page
US Patent:
20140123622, May 8, 2014
Filed:
Nov 5, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/668395
Inventors:
- Schenectady NY, US
Jatila Ranasinghe - Simpsonville SC, US
Barrett Gardiner - Malta NY, US
Assignee:
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F01K 23/10

F01K 7/22
US Classification:
60 39182, 60679, 60692, 60693, 60772, 60645
Abstract:
A combined cycle power plant utilizes an absorption heat transformer to improve plant efficiency. A heat recovery steam generator receives exhaust from a gas turbine and generates steam for input to a steam turbine. The heat recovery steam generator includes a low pressure economizer, an intermediate pressure economizer and a high pressure economizer. The absorption heat transformer is in fluid communication with the low pressure economizer. The absorption heat transformer includes a feed water circuit that draws exhaust water from the low pressure economizer for heating by the absorption heat transformer and directs heated water to at least one of the intermediate pressure economizer and the high pressure economizer.
