<p>Hydrogen (2) is used as the fuel source in a power plant. The hydrogen (2) is combusted (8) in pure oxygen (1) to produce steam (71), which is then expanded in one or more power turbines (24, 26, 28), with the steam being reheated by further combustion of hydrogen with oxygen between each successive turbine (10, 12). Heat available in the steam discharged from turbines (76) is recuperated (6) by transferring it to the hydrogen and oxygen prior to combustion. Since no hydrocarbon fuel or atmospheric air is used for combustion, Nox generation is eliminated so that the only emission (77) from the power plant is water.</p> |
