POWER GENERATING SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC C10J3/00 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: present invention refers to power engineering, to the problem of direct conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy through thermoelectric and thermionic emission, in particular, to the generation of electrical energy due to the heat of gases, which is formed during thermochemical conversion of fuel, and it can be used in order to supply electricity and heat to individual buildings of industrial and individual development, in metallurgy, transport and other industries. Power generating complex comprises the sequentially connected fuel treatment unit, the gasification reactor with the working chamber made of rigidly interconnected cylindrical and truncated conical parts. Cylindrical part from upwards is closed by the cover, in which the fuel loading hatch is equipped. Conical part of the bottom is equipped with the ash pan. Gas product removal valve is installed on the outside of the wall. Branch pipe for supplying air to the working chamber, the casing and the synthetic natural gas treatment unit are installed on the outside of the cone part in the wall. At least two thermionic converters of thermal energy into the electrical one are installed In the cavity of the cylindrical part of the reactor's working chamber on perimeter along the wall. At least two thermoelectric converters of thermal energy are into the electrical one are installed outside in the cavity, which is formed by the cylindrical part of the reactor's working chamber and by the casing. Adder, which has M+N inputs is inputs, is additionally introduced. Output of the m^th thermionic element is connected to the corresponding input of the adder, and the output of the n^th thermoelectric element is connected to the M+n input of the adder.

EFFECT: invention provides for the increased manufacturability and for the increased coefficient of conversion of heat into electrical power, as well as for the decreased material consumption.
