| 20090178384 | CAES plant using humidified air in the bottoming cycle expander - A power generation system includes a combustion turbine assembly ( | 07-16-2009 |
| 20100170218 | METHOD FOR EXPANDING COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE BLEED AIR - A method for recovering energy from bleed air from a compressor of a gas turbine is provided. The method includes directing bleed air from a compressor of a gas turbine into a cooling unit. The bleed air is compressed air from the compressor, and the bleed air is not directed into a combustion chamber of the gas turbine. The method also includes cooling the bleed air within the cooling unit. The method further includes expanding the cooled bleed air within a turbo-expander to generate power. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20110099972 | METHOD OF INCREASING POWER OUTPUT OF A COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT DURING SELECT OPERATING PERIODS - A method of increasing output of a combined cycle power plant with supplemental duct firing from a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) during select periods includes guiding a reheat steam flow to at least one reheat attemperator fluidly connected to the HRSG during the select period. The method further includes increasing reheat attemperation water flow through the at least one reheat attemperator, decreasing a set point temperature of the at least one reheat attemperator for the select period to a lower set point temperature, and raising power output of the combined cycle power plant during the select period. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20120167547 | COMBUSTION TURBINE PURGE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING SAME - A method for assembling a rotary machine includes providing at least one combustor assembly that includes at least one fuel nozzle. The method also includes coupling at least one fuel source to the at least one combustor assembly. The method further includes coupling at least one solvent-based purge system in flow communication with the at least one combustor assembly. | 07-05-2012 |
| 20140096504 | COMPRESSED AIR ENERGY SYSTEM INTEGRATED WITH GAS TURBINE - An apparatus performs a power cycle involving expansion of compressed air utilizing high pressure (HP) and low pressure (LP) air turbines located upstream of a gas turbine. The power cycle involves heating of the compressed air prior to its expansion in the HP and LP air turbines. Taking into consideration fuel consumption to heat the compressed air, particular embodiments may result in a net production of electrical energy of ˜2.2-2.5× an amount of energy consumed by substantially isothermal air compression to produce the compressed air supply. Although pressure of the compressed air supply may vary over a range (e.g. as a compressed air storage unit is depleted), the gas turbine may run under almost constant conditions, facilitating its integration with the apparatus. The air turbines may operate at lower temperatures than the gas turbine, and they may include features of turbines employed to turbocharge large reciprocating engines. | 04-10-2014 |
| 20140109548 | HIGH PRESSURE ROTOR DISK - A rotor disk for a gas turbine engine is disclosed and formed to enable operation at high rotational speeds in a high temperature environment. The rotor disk is formed to include a bore, a live rim diameter and an outer diameter related to each other according to defined relationships. | 04-24-2014 |
