Abstract
Hydrogen is combusted in Oxygen to generate extremely high temperature steam. By feeding the combustion generated steam directly into a steam turbine, unprecedented high conversion efficiency to electricity is achieved.
Claims4
A system for generating electrical power comprising:
- a source of hydrogen fuel;
- a source of combustion oxygen;
- a combustor comprising a burner for burning the hydrogen fuel in oxygen thereby generating a super high temperature supply of steam;
- and
- at least one or more steam turbine driven by the super high temperature steam to generate electrical power.
2 more elements
A method of generating power comprising the steps of:
- burning hydrogen in oxygen and thereby generating a source of super high temperature steam which is not cooled by adding a water or external steam source to the process;
- driving one or more steam turbines with the super high temperature steam to generate electrical power, to drive pumps or compressors, or to drive a shaft for some useful purpose.
