HYBRID POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F02C3/28 F02C3/30 F01K21/04 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: plant contains a reactor associated with a suspension producing unit, a shaft, installed in the gasostatic bearings, at one end of which a Segner wheel is set, which has the ability to connect with the consumer or energy converter, and the other end is associated with an air compressor, a separation unit of steam mixture, hydrogen and aluminium oxides and hydrogen into hydrogen, aluminium oxides and water, the inlet of which is associated with the Segner wheel, combustion chamber, the inlets of which are associated with the separation unit for feeding hydrogen and water to the combustion chamber, as well as associated with the air compressor for air feed, and the outlet of the combustion chamber is associated with the steam gas turbine. The plant is equipped with an additional turbine that runs on a mixture of steam, hydrogen and aluminium oxides, and an air compressor, the rotors of which are interconnected by the shaft, installed in gasostatic bearings. The inlet of said additional turbine is connected to the outlet of the reactor, and the outlet of the additional air compressor is connected to the gasostatic bearings of the shafts. The claimed plant provides for highly efficient power generation, as well as recycling of aluminium powder in different ratios followed by hydrogen generation and power usage when burning it. Due to the use of two circuits, the output power smooth adjustment of the plant is provided, maintaining the maximum performance efficiency.

EFFECT: at the same time, the tasks of reducing the shaft rotation speed are solved due to the reduction of peak loads and the optimal operating conditions of the gasostatic bearings, which increases the operational life of the plant.
