Latest Patents
Peter Witte holds a patent titled "Stack energy control in combined cycle power plant using heating surface bypasses." This invention presents a method for operating a combined power plant with stack energy control. The combined cycle power plant includes a gas turbine, a heat recovery steam generator with multiple heating surfaces, and a steam turbine. The innovation allows for the partial bypassing of heating surfaces to reduce steam production during the startup of the power plant. This method enables less energy to be extracted from the exhaust gas of the gas turbine while allowing more energy to be dumped through the exhaust stack. Additionally, the steam turbine can start without restrictions on the gas turbine load during startup, maintaining a higher load without increasing the size of the air-cooled condenser.
