Abstract

A combined cycle power generation facility of an embodiment includes: a gas turbine; a heat recovery steam generator including a high-pressure steam generation part which generates steam by using an exhaust gas of the gas turbine, and a reheat part which reheats steam; a high-pressure turbine to which the steam from the high-pressure steam generation part is introduced; an intermediate-pressure turbine provided on a downstream side of the high-pressure turbine; a reheat steam pipe connecting an outlet of the high-pressure turbine and an inlet of the intermediate-pressure turbine with the reheat part interposed therebetween; a combustor to which steam discharged from the intermediate-pressure turbine is introduced, and which combusts oxygen and hydrogen to reheat the introduced steam; a low-pressure turbine to which steam discharged from the combustor is introduced; and a condenser which changes steam discharged from the low-pressure turbine into condensed water.

Claims (38)

1 . A combined cycle power generation facility comprising:

a gas turbine;

a heat recovery steam generator including a steam generation part which uses a heat quantity of an exhaust gas from the gas turbine to generate steam, and a reheat part which reheats steam;

a first steam turbine to which the steam generated by the steam generation part is introduced;

a second steam turbine provided on a downstream side of the first steam turbine in a flow direction of a steam flow;

a reheat steam pipe connecting a steam outlet of the first steam turbine and a steam inlet of the second steam turbine with the reheat part interposed therebetween;

a combustor to which steam discharged from the second steam turbine is introduced, and which combusts oxygen and hydrogen to reheat the introduced steam;

a third steam turbine to which steam discharged from the combustor is introduced; and

a condenser which changes steam discharged from the third steam turbine into condensed water,

wherein steam at a same temperature as a temperature of the steam to be introduced to the first steam turbine, is introduced to the second steam turbine and the third steam turbine.

2 . The combined cycle power generation facility according to claim 1 , wherein:

the steam generation part is a first steam generation part which generates a first steam;

the heat recovery steam generator comprises

a second steam generation part which generates a second steam with a pressure lower than a pressure of the first steam; and

the second steam is introduced to the reheat steam pipe between the steam outlet of the first steam turbine and the reheat part.

3 . A combined cycle power generation facility comprising:

a gas turbine;

a heat recovery steam generator including a steam generation part which uses a heat quantity of an exhaust gas from the gas turbine to generate steam, and a reheat part which reheats steam;

a first steam turbine to which the steam generated by the steam generation part is introduced;

a combustor to which steam discharged from the first steam turbine is introduced, and which combusts oxygen and hydrogen to reheat the introduced steam;

a second steam turbine to which steam discharged from the combustor is introduced;

a third steam turbine provided on a downstream side of the second steam turbine in a flow direction of a steam flow;

a reheat steam pipe connecting a steam outlet of the second steam turbine and a steam inlet of the third steam turbine with the reheat part interposed therebetween; and

a condenser which changes steam discharged from the third steam turbine into condensed water,

wherein steam at a same temperature as a temperature of the steam to be introduced to the first steam turbine, is introduced to the second steam turbine and the third steam turbine.

4 . The combined cycle power generation facility according to claim 3 , wherein:

the steam generation part is a first steam generation part which generates a first steam;

the heat recovery steam generator comprises

a second steam generation part which generates a second steam with a pressure lower than a pressure of the first steam; and

the second steam is introduced to the reheat steam pipe between the steam outlet of the second steam turbine and the reheat part.

5 . The combined cycle power generation facility according to claim 2 , wherein:

the heat recovery steam generator comprises

a third steam generation part which generates a third steam with a pressure lower than a pressure of the second steam; and

the third steam is introduced to a predetermined turbine stage of the third steam turbine.

6 . The combined cycle power generation facility according to claim 1 , further comprising

a condensed water discharge system for removing a water quantity equal to the water quantity resulting from condensation of water vapor produced by the combustor from condensed water produced by the condenser.

7 . The combined cycle power generation facility according to claim 1 , further comprising

a condensed water supply system which supplies condensed water produced by the condenser to the steam generation part.
