Abstract
The present invention relates to a gas storage power station (1) having a turbine group (3) and a compressor group (4). The turbine group (3) has at least one turbine (5, 6) and a generator (10). During normal operation of the turbine group (3), the generator (10) emits power directly to a main load (11). The compressor group (4) has at least one compressor (12) and one electric motor (15). The gas storage power station (1) furthermore has a power consumption device (20), which can be activated in order to consume turbine and/or generator power.
Claims15
A gas storage power station comprising:
- at least one turbine group which has at least one turbine and at least one generator which are connected or connectable to one another for drive purposes, with the generator giving power directly to at least one predetermined main load during normal operation of the turbine group, and
- a least one compressor group which has at least one compressor and at least one electric motor which are connected or connectable to one another for drive purposes, and
- a power consumption device for controlling turbine acceleration by transferring at least one of turbine and generator power to an electrical consumer.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
