ENERGY GENERATION METHOD Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC F02C3/28 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: low pressure oxidiser is compressed with multi-stage compressor, and then it is supplied to high pressure combustion chamber to which some part of fuel and heated high pressure oxidiser flow is supplied as well. Combustion products are supplied from combustion chamber to gas turbine, and then to fuel element for electrochemical oxidation of the other fuel part. At least some part of low pressure oxidiser is supplied to fuel element input and the flow leaving the fuel element is burnt in low pressure combustion chamber. Low pressure oxidiser supplied to fuel element input is taken from lower stages of compressor.

EFFECT: reducing fuel flow, improving operating reliability of fuel element and decreasing the losses due to insufficient expansion of combustion products in the turbine.
