Cooled turbine integrated fuel cell hybrid power plant

摘要

A hybrid power plant (10) includes a turbine (14), a compressor (12) driven by the turbine and a recuperator (20) in flow communication with the compressor. The recuperator is configured to transfer heat from turbine exhaust (52) to compressed air, and at least one fuel cell (34) is in flow communication with said recuperator to provide fresh air for said fuel cell.
