Abstract
A dual fuel power generation system employing a steam-mixed fuel and/or a gaseous fuel to power a turbine engine. The steam-mixed fuel is a gaseous mixture of a light hydrocarbon and steam. The steam-mixed fuel and gaseous fuel are delivered to the turbine engine (either individually or mixed) via a common fuel controller, a common fuel distribution system, and a common gas-only fuel nozzle.
Claims8
A dual fuel power generation system comprising:
- a gaseous fuel source for providing a gaseous fuel;
- a liquid fuel source for providing a liquid fuel;
- a steam source for providing steam;
- a fuel mixing device fluidly coupled to the liquid fuel source and the steam source and operable to mix the liquid fuel and the steam, thereby providing a steam-mixed fuel;
- a turbine engine powered by combusting the gaseous fuel and the steam-mixed fuel, either individually or mixed;
- and
- a fuel controller fluidly coupled to the gaseous fuel source, the fuel mixing device, and the turbine engine controlling the amount of the gaseous fuel and the amount of the steam-mixed fuel charged to the turbine engine.
