Abstract

A gas turbine plant includes a gas turbine, an exhaust line, an exhaust heat recovery boiler that generates steam due to heat of exhaust gas and guides the exhaust gas to the exhaust line, a carbon dioxide recovery device that recovers carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas, a heat exchanger that cools the exhaust gas to a temperature set in advance, and a circulation line that branches from a position between the carbon dioxide recovery device and the heat exchanger and is connected to an inlet of the gas turbine. The carbon dioxide recovery device has an absorption tower that absorbs carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas by causing the exhaust gas at the set temperature and an absorption liquid to come into contact with each other. The heat exchanger is formed of a material having higher corrosion resistance than a material forming the exhaust heat recovery boiler.

Claims (37)

1. A gas turbine plant comprising:

a gas turbine that is configured to be driven by means of combustion gas generated due to combustion of fuel;

an exhaust line that is configured to guide exhaust gas discharged from the gas turbine to the outside;

an exhaust heat recovery boiler that is provided in the exhaust line, is configured to generate steam due to heat of the exhaust gas discharged from the gas turbine, and guide the exhaust gas which has passed through an inside of the exhaust heat recovery boiler to the exhaust line;

a carbon dioxide recovery device that is provided on a downstream side of the exhaust heat recovery boiler in the exhaust line and is configured to recover carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust line;

a heat exchanger that is provided between the exhaust heat recovery boiler and the carbon dioxide recovery device in the exhaust line and is configured to cool the exhaust gas to a temperature set in advance;

a circulation line that branches from a position between the carbon dioxide recovery device and the heat exchanger in the exhaust line and is connected to an inlet of the gas turbine;

an outlet temperature measurement part that is configured to measure an exit temperature of the heat exchanger;

a supplementary combustion burner that is configured to heat the exhaust gas flowing into the exhaust heat recovery boiler; and

a control device that is configured to change an output of the supplementary combustion burner on the basis of the exit temperature,

wherein the carbon dioxide recovery device has an absorption tower which is configured to absorb carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas by causing the exhaust gas at the temperature set in advance and an absorption liquid to come into contact with each other, and

wherein the heat exchanger is formed of a material having a higher corrosion resistance than a material forming the exhaust heat recovery boiler.

2. The gas turbine plant according to claim 1 ,

wherein the control device changes an output of the supplementary combustion burner in an increasing direction when the exit temperature is higher than the temperature set in advance.

3. The gas turbine plant according to claim 1 ,

wherein the control device changes an output of the supplementary combustion burner in a decreasing direction when the exit temperature is lower than the temperature set in advance.

4. The gas turbine plant according to claim 1 ,

wherein the temperature set in advance is within a range of 30° C. to 50° C.

5. The gas turbine plant according to claim 1 ,

wherein the carbon dioxide recovery device further has a quencher for cooling the exhaust gas flowing into the absorption tower.

6. A gas turbine plant comprising:

a gas turbine that is configured to be driven by means of combustion gas generated due to combustion of fuel;

an exhaust line that is configured to guide exhaust gas discharged from the gas turbine to the outside;

an exhaust heat recovery boiler that is provided in the exhaust line, is configured to generate steam due to heat of the exhaust gas discharged from the gas turbine, and guide the exhaust gas which has passed through an inside of the exhaust heat recovery boiler to the exhaust line;

a carbon dioxide recovery device that is provided on a downstream side of the exhaust heat recovery boiler in the exhaust line and is configured to recover carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust line;

a heat exchanger that is provided between the exhaust heat recovery boiler and the carbon dioxide recovery device in the exhaust line and is configured to cool the exhaust gas to a temperature set in advance;

a circulation line that branches from a position between the carbon dioxide recovery device and the heat exchanger in the exhaust line and is connected to an inlet of the gas turbine;

a steam turbine configured to be driven by the steam generated by the exhaust heat recovery boiler;

a condenser configured to return the steam discharged from the steam turbine to water; and

a steam recovery line configured to guide water in the condenser to the exhaust heat recovery boiler,

wherein the carbon dioxide recovery device has an absorption tower which is configured to absorb carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas by causing the exhaust gas at the temperature set in advance and an absorption liquid to come into contact with each other,

wherein the heat exchanger is formed of a material having a higher corrosion resistance than a material forming the exhaust heat recovery boiler, and

wherein the heat exchanger is provided in the steam recovery line and configured to perform heat exchange between the water sent from the steam recovery line and the exhaust gas, thereby heating the water, which is sent to the exhaust heat recovery boiler, and cooling the exhaust gas.

7. The gas turbine plant according to claim 6 ,

wherein the temperature set in advance is within a range of 30° C. to 50° C.

8. The gas turbine plant according to claim 6 ,

wherein the carbon dioxide recovery device further includes a quencher for cooling the exhaust gas flowing into the absorption tower.
