Abstract
A gas turbine arrangement, a power plant having such a gas turbine arrangement and a method for operating the power plant are provided. A compressor may be mechanically coupled to a turbine which can be driven by combustion gases, such as can be generated by combustion of fuel with the compressed combustion air. An exhaust system may be used to discharge the combustion gases. One or more thermoelectric generators may be thermally coupled to the exhaust system for generating electrical energy from residual heat of the combustion gases which pass in the exhaust system. This gas turbine arrangement allows waste heat from the combustion gases to be utilized and thus the overall efficiency of the gas turbine arrangement can be increased and pollutant emissions may be lowered.
