POWER GENERATION SYSTEM HAVING COMPRESSOR CREATING EXCESS AIR FLOW

摘要

A power generation system includes: a first gas turbine system including a first turbine component, a first integral compressor and a first combustor to which air from the first integral compressor and fuel are supplied, the first combustor arranged to supply hot combustion gases to the first turbine component, and the first integral compressor having a flow capacity greater than an intake capacity of the first combustor and/or the first turbine component, creating an excess air flow. A second gas turbine system may include a second turbine component, a second compressor and a second combustor to which air from the second compressor and fuel are supplied, the second combustor arranged to supply hot combustion gases to the second turbine component. A control valve system controls flow of the excess air flow from the first gas turbine system to the second gas turbine system.
