Abstract
Provided is turbine plant using methanol as fuel in which working fluid is compressed by compressor and led into combustor A mixture of H and CO as fuel added with O is burned to generate high temperature gas, which works at high temperature turbine flows through heat exchangers and returns partly to the compressor and enters partly low pressure turbine of bottoming system to work. Condensed water from condenser of the bottoming system is pressurized by pressure pump and flows through the heat exchangers to become high temperature steam and to work at high pressure turbine Exhaust gas thereof is mixed into the combustor A mixture of methanol and water is supplied into reformer to absorb heat from the heat exchanger to be reformed into H and CO , which is supplied into the combustor A high temperature portion of the high temperature turbine is cooled by cooling medium extracted from compressor outlet and high pressure turbine outlet thereby reliability of the high temperature turbine is enhanced.
