ELECTRICITY GENERATION PLANT AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME

摘要

An electricity generation plant having high efficiency of generating electricity. An electricity generation plant (1) comprises: a diesel engine (5); a vapor generation device (6) for generating vapor by recovering waste heat from exhaust gas discharged from the diesel engine (5); a vapor turbine (7) driven by the vapor generated by the vapor generation device (6); a speed reducer (10) for reducing the speed of the rotational output from the vapor turbine (7) and transmitting the rotational output having the reduced speed to the rotating shaft (3) of the diesel engine (5); and a shared generator (11) connected to the rotating shaft (3) of the diesel engine (5) and generating electricity by drive power obtained from the diesel engine (5) and the vapor turbine (7).
