Embodiment Construction

[0052] The following detailed description of the exemplary embodiments refers to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings identify the same or similar elements. In addition, the figures need not be drawn to scale. Moreover, the following detailed description does not limit the present invention. The scope of the invention is instead defined by the appended claims.

[0053] Reference in the specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" or "some embodiments" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described with respect to the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the disclosed subject matter. Thus, the appearance of the phrase "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" or "in some embodiments" in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment(s). In addition, specific features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in one or more embodiments in any suita...

Abstract

The power plant comprises an integrally geared vapor compressor arrangement (300), comprised of a bull gear (313) and a compressor shaft (315) with a pinion (317) meshing with the bull gear. The plant further comprises a vapor source (301), fluidly connectable with an inlet of the integrally geared vapor compressor arrangement (300). A vapor turbine arrangement (327, 329) is fluidly connectable with an outlet of the integrally geared vapor compressor arrangement for receiving a stream of compressed and superheated vapor from the integrally geared vapor compressor arrangement. An electric generator (331) driven by the vapor turbine arrangement converts mechanical power produced by the vapor turbine arrangement into electric power.

Description

Technical field [0001] Embodiments of the subject matter disclosed herein generally relate to power devices and systems. Some embodiments relate to concentrated solar thermal power plants and systems for operating them. Other embodiments relate to devices for converting thermal energy into usable mechanical energy or electrical energy. Background technique [0002] Traditional solar thermal power technology generally includes a collector, which concentrates the energy from the sun, so that the high pressure and high temperature required for efficient power production can be obtained. Different kinds of collectors are known in the art. They are usually combined to form a so-called solar field, in which multiple collectors concentrate solar energy in a heat collection circuit, in which a heat transfer fluid or heat transfer medium circulates, and the medium transfers the collected heat energy to the thermodynamic cycle. [0003] For example, the collected solar thermal energy can ...
