Abstract
A pressurized fluidized-bed boiler power plant comprises: a pressurized fluidized-bed boiler including a fluidized-bed boiler and a pressure vessel containing the fluidized bed; a single-shaft gas turbine including a gas turbine, an air compressor and an electric generator; and a steam turbine unit in which steam generated by the pressurized fluidized-bed boiler drives a turbine so that electricity is generated. In the power plant, an air cooler is situated on a duct for conveying the compressed air from the compressor to the boiler or at an inlet of the compressor. Alternatively, there may be provided a device for conveying the compressed air from the compressor by way of the air cooler to a space formed by the fluidized-bed boiler and the pressure vessel of the pressurized fluidized-bed boiler. During operation, the compressed air is cooled to a temperature level allowable for the pressure vessel before it is supplied to the boiler.
