| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to steam generating systems in a combined cycle plant that is comprised of a gas turbine section that is operatively coupled to a steam cycle section to produce mechanical energy for electrical power generation, or for other purposes. In one embodiment, a gas diversion valve between the gas turbine section and the steam cycle section diverts at least a portion of the hot combustion gases generated by the gas turbine section to the steam cycle section, thereby augmenting the heat available to the steam cycle section. In another embodiment, steam produced within the steam cycle section is communicated to at least one of the turbines in the gas turbine section to augment the power output of the plant. In yet another embodiment, the steam cycle section may be selectively altered to allow the plant to accommodate the various tasks associated with sugar cane processing.
