Abstract

A combined cycle power generation facility of an embodiment includes a first heat recovery steam generator including a high-pressure steam generation part using an exhaust gas of a gas turbine and a reheat part; a high-pressure turbine to which steam is introduced from the high-pressure steam generation part; a combustor which combusts hydrogen and oxygen; a reheat steam pipe connecting the high-pressure turbine and the combustor with the reheat part interposed therebetween; an oxygen-hydrogen combustion turbine to which steam is introduced from the combustor; a second heat recovery steam generator including a steam generation part using an exhaust gas of the oxygen-hydrogen combustion turbine; a low-pressure turbine to which steam is introduced from the steam generation part; and a condenser which steam is introduced from the low-pressure turbine.

Claims (20)

1. A combined cycle power generation facility comprising:

a gas turbine;

a first heat recovery steam generator including a first 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 first steam generation part is introduced;

a combustor which combusts hydrogen and oxygen;

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

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

a second heat recovery steam generator including a second steam generation part which uses a heat quantity of steam discharged from the second steam turbine to generate steam;

a third steam turbine to which the steam generated by the second steam generation part is introduced; and

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

2. The combined cycle power generation facility according to claim 1 , wherein a pressure of the steam to be introduced to the third steam turbine is higher than a pressure of the steam discharged from the second steam turbine.

3. The combined cycle power generation facility according to claim 1 , wherein steam discharged from the second heat recovery steam generator is introduced to a predetermined turbine stage of the third steam turbine.

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

the first heat recovery steam generator comprises

a third steam generation part which generates steam with a pressure lower than a pressure of the steam generated by the first steam generation part; and

the steam generated by the third steam generation part is introduced to a predetermined turbine stage of the third steam turbine.

5. 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 first heat recovery steam generator and the second heat recovery steam generator.

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.
