Power plant
An electrolytic power plant using an electrolysis device which requires one part of the electric energy which is produced by the power plant. The electrolysis device forms a variable load for the constant control network frequency and produces hydrogen and oxygen. The power plant has an oxygen pump, a buffer container, an oxygen distribution line, and an oxygen pump that are used for the accumulated oxygen.
1. A power plant comprising an electrolysis device which requires one part of electrical energy which is produced by the power plant to produce hydrogen and oxygen, the power plant further comprising removing devices for removing the hydrogen and a steam generator providing a combustion chamber which is operated with fuel and combustion air and guiding devices for guiding the produced oxygen additionally to the combustion air into areas of the combustion chamber that are inadequately supplied with oxygen, wherein the guiding devices are provided for introducing the oxygen into the combustion chamber close to an inlet area for the fuel and the combustion air or for introducing the oxygen into an area of the combustion chamber in which a flame front reaches a wall of the combustion chamber such that undesirable chemical reactions between gases within the combustion chamber and wall material of the steam generator are prevented.
2. The power plant of claim 1 , wherein a circular pipeline or several such circular pipelines that surround the steam generator are provided with branch lines, which are distributed over the circular periphery and lead into the combustion chamber in order to introduce oxygen.
3. The power plant of claim 1 , further comprising a flue gas desulfurization plant which is provided for desulfurization of flue gases produced by the power plant, and devices for guiding the produced oxygen into the flue gas desulfurization plant in order to use the produced oxygen for desulfurization.
