Power plant utilizing compressed air energy storage and saturation.

摘要: An improved power plant employing a combination of compressed air storage and saturation (simultaneous heating humidification) is disclosed. The (20A) includes combustor (26) which provides hot gas for driving turbine (24). (24) used in conjunction with generator (34) to generate electrical power. from the accessible by compressor system (40) during low demand periods. compress stored an chamber (52). (52) high periods, while shut down, provide combustion To enhance efficiency plant, further lowering capital cost saturator (60) positioned between (26). receives simultaneously heats humidifies it. resultant heated humidified then conveyed (26), typically after recuperator (70).
