TURBOMACHINE SYSTEM INCLUDING AN INLET BLEED HEAT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING A TURBOMACHINE AT PART LOAD

摘要

A turbomachine system includes a compressor portion having at least one compressor extraction, a turbine portion operatively connected to the compressor portion, and a combustor assembly including at least one combustor fluidically connected to the compressor portion and the turbine portion. A heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) is fluidically connected to the turbine portion, and an air inlet system is fluidically connected to the compressor portion. An inlet bleed heat (IBH) system is fluidically connected to each of the compressor portion, the air inlet system and the HRSG. An inlet bleed heat (IBH) system includes a first conduit having a first valve fluidically connecting the compressor extraction and the air inlet system, and a second conduit including a second valve connecting one of the HRSG and a secondary stream source with the first conduit.
