Power plant start-up method

Ambient air is compressed into a compressed ambient gas flow (26) and delivered to a turbine combustor (32). An exhaust port is opened. A turbine shaft (22) is rotated at an ignition speed and a fuel stream (28) is delivered to the turbine combustor (32) for mixing with the compressed ambient gas…

Power plant and method of use

A power plant arrangement and method of operation are provided. The power plant arrangement comprises at least one main air compressor (12) and one or more gas turbine assemblies. Each assembly comprises a turbine combustor (32) for mixing a portion of a compressed ambient gas flow (26) with a…

Turbo recuperator device

A device and method for recuperating a gas turbine engine comprises a compressor [10] being configured to receive a coolant fluid stream, to compress the coolant fluid stream and to discharge the compressed coolant fluid stream to a turbine [14] in fluid communication with the compressor [10]. The…

Turbomachine arrangement

The flow machine arrangement (10) has two compressor or turbine stages (12,14) coupled by a common shaft (16) that can be operated as a dual stage or dual flow arrangement depending on the volumetric fluid flow passing through the arrangement. A pivotable or sliding control element is arranged…
