Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] As one aspect for achieving the above object, a carbon dioxide recovery facility The gas turbine comprises a compressor capable of compressing air, a combustor capable of burning fuel in the compressed air compressed by the compressor to produce combustion gas, and a turbine driven by the combustion gas; a carbon dioxide recovery device capable of recovering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; and a heat transfer medium line capable of guiding the heat transfer medium generated by the operation of the gas turbine to the carbon dioxide recovery device. The carbon dioxide recovery device has an adsorbent capable of adsorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releasing the adsorbed carbon dioxide by heating with the heat transfer medium.

[0008] In this embodiment, a heat transfer medium generated by driving a gas turbine is used as the heat transfer medium to heat the adsorbent in order to release carbon dioxide from the adsorbent. Therefore, in this embodiment, the heat source necessary to carry out the process of releasing carbon dioxide from the adsorbent can be obtained.

[0036] The duct 61 has an inlet 61i into which atmospheric air A can be introduced, and an outlet 61o into which atmospheric air A can be discharged. The adsorbent 62 is placed inside this duct 61. The adsorbent 62 is formed, for example, of an amine-supported porous material. Therefore, the carbon dioxide recovery device 60 in this embodiment is an S-DAC (Direct Air Capture) type carbon dioxide recovery device 60 that uses a solid adsorbent 62. The adsorbent 62 in this embodiment can release adsorbed carbon dioxide CO2 in a temperature environment of 100°C or less. The inlet fan 63f and the outlet fan 64f are both fans that can guide atmospheric air A into the duct 61 and discharge it outside the duct 61.

[0040] The power system equipment 50 includes a dedicated power line 51g for the GT generator, a dedicated power line 51a for the AT generator, a dedicated power line 51b for the BESS, a shared power line 51s within the plant, a dedicated power line 51f for the fan, a dedicated power line 51p for the pump, an external connection power line 51c, a plurality of transformers 53a, 53b, 53c, 53g, and a plurality of switches 54a, 54b, 54c, 54g, 54f, 54p. The dedicated power line 51g for the GT generator has one end electrically connected to the gas turbine generator 6 and the other end electrically connected to the shared power line 51s within the plant. The dedicated power line 51a for the AT generator has one end electrically connected to the auxiliary generator 41 and the other end electrically connected to the shared power line 51s within the plant. The dedicated power line 51b for the BESS has one end electrically connected to the energy storage device 45 and the other end connected to the shared power line 51s within the plant. The fan-dedicated power line 51f has one end electrically connected to the electric motor 63m of the inlet fan 63f and the electric motor 64m of the outlet fan 64f, and the other end is connected to the plant's shared power line 51s. The pump-dedicated power line 51p has one end electrically connected to the electric motor 65m of the vacuum pump 65p, and the other end is connected to the plant's shared power line 51s. The external connection power line 51c electrically connects the plant's shared power line 51s to the external power system 59. The external connection power line 51c, the plant's shared power line 51s, and the fan-dedicated power line 51f together constitute a power line that electrically connects the external power system 59 to the electric motor 63m of the inlet fan 63f and the electric motor 64m of the outlet fan 64f. Furthermore, the external power line 51c, the shared power line 51s within the plant, and the dedicated power line 51p for the pump constitute a power line that electrically connects the external power system 59 and the electric motor 65m of the vacuum pump 65p.

[0041] The power line 51g dedicated to the GT generator is equipped with a transformer 53g and a switch 54g. Furthermore, an output meter 55 that detects the amount of power generated by the gas turbine generator 6, in other words, the actual output PWr which is the actual output of the gas turbine 1, is connected to this power line 51g dedicated to the GT generator. The power line 51a dedicated to the AT generator is equipped with a transformer 53a and a switch 54a. The power line 51b dedicated to the BESS is equipped with a transformer 53b and a switch 54b.

The power line 51p dedicated to the pump is equipped with a switch 54p. All of the above switches 54a, 54b, 54c, 54g, 54f, and 54p have a first terminal, a second terminal, and a switching mechanism. The switching mechanism can change the connection state between the first and second terminals, from an ON state where the first and second terminals are electrically connected to an OFF state where the first and second terminals are not electrically connected. For example, the switch 54b installed on the BESS dedicated power line 51b can achieve an ON state where the external power system 59, the auxiliary generator 41, and the storage battery 46 are electrically connected, and an OFF state where the external power system 59, the auxiliary generator 41, and the storage battery 46 are not electrically connected.

[0042] The control device 100 includes a main controller 101, a GT (gas turbine) controller 102, an extraction controller 104, a switchgear controller 105, and a DAC controller 106.

[0043] The main controller 101 receives various plant-related instructions from the outside, including the requested output PWc required for the gas turbine 1, as well as the actual output PWr detected by the output meter 55, and controls the other controllers.

[0044] The GT controller 102 determines the opening degree of the fuel valve 5 based on the aforementioned request output PWc. The GT controller 102 then instructs the fuel valve 5 to this opening degree. The GT controller 102 also receives the actual output PWr from the main controller 101 and determines the IGV opening degree θ according to this actual output PWr. The GT controller 102 then instructs the intake air volume regulator 13 to this IGV opening degree θ.

[0045] The extraction controller 104 receives the actual output PWr from the main controller 101 and instructs the extraction valve 32 to open or close depending on whether the actual output PWr satisfies the extraction condition. Here, the extraction condition is that the actual output PWr detected by the output meter 55 is less than or equal to a predetermined extraction output.

[0046] The switchgear controller 105 controls each of the switches 54a, 54b, 54c, 54g, 54f, and 54p. When an unfavorable emergency occurs for the plant, the switchgear controller 105 instructs the switches 54a, 54b, 54c, 54g, 54f, and 54p corresponding to the emergency to turn off. Furthermore, the switchgear controller 105 instructs the switch 54b, which is installed on the BESS dedicated power line 51b, to turn on or off depending on whether the extraction valve 32 is open or closed, and also depending on the discharge conditions described later. The switchgear controller 105 instructs the switch 54b to turn on when the discharge conditions are met and the extraction valve 32 is open. Also, the switchgear controller 105 instructs the switch 54b to turn off when the discharge conditions are not met and the extraction valve 32 is not open.

[0047] The DAC controller 106 controls the carbon dioxide recovery device 60. Specifically, the DAC controller 106 controls the opening degree of the heat transfer valve 71, the opening degree of the inlet damper 66i, and the opening degree of the outlet damper 66o. Furthermore, the DAC controller 106 controls the driving of the inlet fan 63f, the driving of the outlet fan 64f, and the driving of the vacuum pump 65p via the switch controller 105.

[0048] Next, the operation of the gas turbine 1, the extraction equipment 30, and the auxiliary power generation equipment 40 will be explained.

[0049] First, the main controller 101 determines whether or not to perform main power generation, which involves driving the gas turbine 1 to generate electricity with the gas turbine generator 6. If the main controller 101 determines that it will perform main power generation, it instructs the GT controller 102 to perform fuel flow rate control and also to perform intake air flow rate control for the gas turbine 1.

[0050] The GT controller 102 determines the opening degree of the fuel valve 5 based on the external request output PWc and instructs the fuel valve 5 to this opening degree. The GT controller 102 also receives the actual output PWr from the main controller 101 and determines the IGV opening degree θ according to this actual output PWr. The GT controller 102 then instructs the intake air volume regulator 13 to use this IGV opening degree θ.

[0051] By controlling the fuel flow rate and intake air flow rate as described above, the gas turbine 1 is driven and the gas turbine generator 6 generates electricity.

[0052] If the requested output PWc from an external source is less than or equal to the rated output and greater than the aforementioned extraction output, the extraction valve 32 is closed, the clutch 43 is disengaged, and the switch 54b on the BESS-dedicated power line 51b is in the off state. In this case, the gas turbine generator 6 outputs power corresponding to the requested output PWc. Also, because the extraction valve 32 is closed, compressed air in the intermediate casing 3 is not supplied to the auxiliary turbine 33 via the extraction line 31, and the auxiliary turbine 33 is not driven. Furthermore, because the switch 54b on the BESS-dedicated power line 51b is in the off state, no power is input or output to the energy storage device 45. In other words, the energy storage device 45 is not charged with power, and the energy storage device 45 does not discharge.

[0053] Therefore, in this case, power corresponding to the requested output PWc is supplied from the plant to the external power system 59.

[0054] The extraction controller 104 determines whether the extraction conditions are met for extracting a portion of the compressed air in the intermediate casing 3 as extraction air. As mentioned above, these extraction conditions are that the actual output PWr detected by the output meter 55 is less than or equal to the extraction output. When the extraction controller 104 determines that the extraction conditions are met, it instructs the extraction valve 32 to open. As a result, the extraction valve 32 opens, and a portion of the compressed air in the intermediate casing 3 is supplied to the auxiliary turbine 33 as extraction air via the extraction line 31. The auxiliary turbine 33 starts to drive due to the inflow of this extraction air. The driving force of the auxiliary turbine 33 is transmitted to the auxiliary generator 41, and the auxiliary generator 41 starts generating electricity.

[0055] The switchgear controller 105, seeing that the extraction valve 32 has opened, instructs the switchgear 54b, located on the BESS-dedicated power line 51b, to turn ON. As a result, the switchgear 54b turns ON, and the electricity generated by the auxiliary generator 41 charges the energy storage device 45.

[0056] If the extraction controller 104 determines that the extraction conditions are not met, it instructs the extraction valve 32 to close. Based on this instruction, if the extraction valve 32 is open, it will close, and if the extraction valve 32 is closed, it will remain closed.

[0057] Furthermore, if the extraction controller 104 determines that the extraction conditions are not met, the switchgear controller 105 determines whether the discharge conditions are met. Here, the discharge conditions are that the requested output PWc is greater than or equal to the discharge output which is greater than the rated output of the gas turbine 1, and that the change in the requested output PWc per unit time is greater than a predetermined value. Receiving a carbon dioxide capture instruction from the DAC controller 106 is also included in the discharge conditions. If the switchgear controller 105 determines that the discharge conditions are met, it instructs the switch 54b installed on the BESS dedicated power line 51b to turn on. As a result, the switch 54b turns on, and the power stored in the energy storage device 45 is discharged.

[0058] When the switchgear controller 105 determines that the discharge conditions are not met, it instructs the switchgear 54b, which is installed on the BESS-dedicated power line 51b, to turn off. As a result, the switchgear 54b turns off, and the power stored in the energy storage device 45 is no longer discharged.

[0059] Next, we will explain the operation of the carbon dioxide capture device 60.

[0060] The main controller 101 determines whether or not to recover carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere A. Specifically, the main controller 101 determines to recover carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere A when, for example, the operator instructs it to recover carbon dioxide (CO2) or when it is time for carbon dioxide (CO2) recovery.

[0061] When the main controller 101 determines that carbon dioxide (CO2) should be recovered, it outputs a carbon dioxide recovery instruction to the DAC controller 106. Upon receiving this instruction, the DAC controller 106 outputs an open instruction to the inlet damper 66i and the outlet damper 66o. As a result, the inlet damper 66i and the outlet damper 66o open, allowing atmospheric air A to flow into the duct 61 of the carbon dioxide recovery device 60. Furthermore, as described above, the DAC controller 106 outputs a carbon dioxide recovery instruction to the switchgear controller 105. Upon receiving this instruction, the switchgear controller 105 instructs the switch 54b located on the BESS dedicated power line 51b to turn on. Upon receiving this instruction, the switchgear controller 105 further instructs the switch 54f located on the fan dedicated power line 51f to turn on. As a result, this switch 54b turns on, and the power stored in the energy storage device 45 is discharged. Furthermore, the switch 54f is turned ON, and the power discharged from the energy storage device 45 is supplied to the electric motor 63m of the inlet fan 63f and the electric motor 64m of the outlet fan 64f, driving the inlet fan 63f and the outlet fan 64f. As a result, air A flows into the duct 61 from the inlet 61i of the carbon dioxide recovery device 60, and carbon dioxide CO2 in this air A is adsorbed by the adsorbent material 62. The air A that has passed through the adsorbent material 62 is discharged outside the duct 61 from the outlet 61o of the duct 61.

[0062] As described above, when the main controller 101 determines that carbon dioxide CO2 should be recovered, the carbon dioxide recovery device 60 is activated by an instruction from the DAC controller 106, as shown in the flowchart in Figure 2, and carbon dioxide CO2 from the atmosphere A is recovered by this carbon dioxide recovery device 60 (recovery process S3).

[0063] As mentioned above, if the actual output PWr detected by the output meter 55 is less than or equal to the extraction output, the auxiliary generator 41 generates power (power generation process S1). The power generated by this auxiliary generator 41 is charged to the energy storage device 45 (charging process S2). In the charging process S2, power from the external power system 59 may also be used to charge the energy storage device 45. In the recovery process S3, the power charged to the energy storage device 45 in the charging process S2 is used to drive the inlet fan 63f and the outlet fan 64f, causing atmospheric air A to flow into the duct 61 of the carbon dioxide recovery device 60. If the auxiliary generator 41 is generating power during the recovery process S3, the power generated by this auxiliary generator 41 is directly supplied to the electric motor 63m of the inlet fan 63f and the electric motor 64m of the outlet fan 64f. In addition, in the recovery process S3, power from the external power system 59 may be used to drive the electric motor 63m of the inlet fan 63f and the electric motor 64m of the outlet fan 64f.

[0064] The main controller 101 determines whether or not to stop carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. Specifically, the main controller 101 decides to stop capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from atmosphere A if, for example, the operator instructs it to stop capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) or if it is outside the carbon dioxide (CO2) capture time slot.

[0065] When the main controller 101 determines that carbon dioxide (CO2) recovery should be stopped, it outputs a recovery stop instruction to the DAC controller 106. Upon receiving this instruction, the DAC controller 106 outputs a recovery stop instruction to the switchgear controller 105. Upon receiving this instruction, the switchgear controller 105 instructs the switch 54b on the BESS-dedicated power line 51b and the switch 54f on the fan-dedicated power line 51f to turn off. As a result, the switch 54b turns off, and the power stored in the energy storage device 45 is no longer discharged. Furthermore, the power generated by the auxiliary generator 41, or the power stored in the energy storage device 45, is no longer supplied to the electric motor 63m of the inlet fan 63f and the electric motor 64m of the outlet fan 64f, causing the inlet fan 63f and the outlet fan 64f to stop. As a result, atmospheric air A no longer flows into the duct 61 of the carbon dioxide recovery device 60.

[0066] The main controller 101 determines whether or not to release carbon dioxide CO2 from the adsorbent 62. Specifically, the main controller 101 determines to release carbon dioxide CO2 from the adsorbent 62 if, for example, the total time since the release of carbon dioxide CO2 from the adsorbent 62 to the recovery process S3 has elapsed beyond a predetermined recovery limit time and the gas turbine 1 is running. The recovery limit time is the total time since the release of carbon dioxide CO2 from the adsorbent 62 to the recovery process S3, and is the time during which the carbon dioxide CO2 adsorption performance of the adsorbent 62 is expected to decrease.

[0067] When the main controller 101 determines that carbon dioxide CO2 should be released from the adsorbent 62, it outputs a carbon dioxide release instruction to the DAC controller 106. Upon receiving this instruction, the DAC controller 106 outputs an open instruction to the heat transfer valve 71 and a close instruction to the inlet damper 66i and outlet damper 66o. As a result, the heat transfer valve 71 opens, allowing a portion of the exhaust gas that has been exhausted from the gas turbine 1 and passed through the waste heat recovery boiler 21 to flow into the duct 61 of the carbon dioxide recovery device 60 via the heat transfer line 70. In addition, the inlet damper 66i and outlet damper 66o close, preventing atmospheric air A from flowing into the duct 61 of the carbon dioxide recovery device 60. Therefore, the adsorbent 62 in the duct 61 is heated by the exhaust gas, and carbon dioxide CO2 is released from the adsorbent 62. Furthermore, the DAC controller 106 instructs the suction valve 68 to open. As a result, the suction valve 68 opens, allowing the gas in the duct 61 to flow into the suction line 67. Furthermore, the DAC controller 106 outputs a carbon dioxide release instruction to the switch controller 105. Upon receiving this instruction, the switch controller 105 instructs the switch 54b on the BESS dedicated power line 51b and the switch 54p on the pump dedicated power line 51p to turn on. As a result, the switch 54b turns on, and the power stored in the energy storage device 45 is discharged. Furthermore, the switch 54p turns on, and the power discharged from the energy storage device 45 is supplied to the electric motor 65m of the vacuum pump 65p, driving the vacuum pump 65p. Driven by this vacuum pump 65p, the carbon dioxide CO2 released from the adsorbent 62 is sucked out from inside the duct 61 and stored in a tank via the suction line 67 (release process S4). In addition, during the detachment process S4, the electric motor 65m of the vacuum pump 65p may be driven by power from the external power system 59.

[0068] The main controller 101 determines whether or not to terminate the detachment process S4. Specifically, the main controller 101 determines to terminate the detachment process S4 if, for example, the execution time of the detachment process S4 has elapsed to a predetermined time.

[0069] When the main controller 101 determines that the detachment process S4 is complete, it outputs a detachment cancellation instruction to the DAC controller 106. Upon receiving this instruction, the DAC controller 106 outputs a close instruction to the heat transfer valve 71 and the suction valve 68, and an open instruction to the inlet damper 66i and the outlet damper 66o. As a result, the heat transfer valve 71 is closed, preventing exhaust gas from being exhausted from the gas turbine 1 from flowing into the duct 61. In addition, the inlet damper 66i and the outlet damper 66o are opened, allowing atmospheric air A to flow into the duct 61 of the carbon dioxide recovery device 60. Furthermore, the DAC controller 106 outputs a detachment cancellation instruction to the switch controller 105. Upon receiving this instruction, the switch controller 105 instructs the switch 54b on the BESS dedicated power line 51b and the switch 54p on the pump dedicated power line 51p to turn off. As a result, switches 54b and 54p are turned off, power is no longer supplied to the electric motor 65m of the vacuum pump 65p, and the vacuum pump 65p stops.

[0070] As described above, in this embodiment, in order to suppress the output of the gas turbine 1, compressed air is extracted from the gas turbine 1, and this compressed air is used to drive the auxiliary turbine 33, which in turn generates electricity with the auxiliary generator 41. In the recovery process S3, the electricity generated by the auxiliary generator 41 is used to drive the inlet fan 63f and the outlet fan 64f. Therefore, in this embodiment, the drive power necessary for executing the recovery process S3 can be obtained.

[0071] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the exhaust gas that is discharged from the gas turbine 1, passes through the waste heat recovery boiler 21, and would normally be discharged from the chimney 23, is used as a heat transfer medium to heat the adsorbent 62 in the detachment process S4. In addition, in this embodiment, the electricity generated by the auxiliary generator 41 is used to drive the vacuum pump 65p in the detachment process S4. Thus, in this embodiment, the heat source and driving power necessary for executing the detachment process S4 can be obtained.

[0072] In other words, this embodiment offers superior economic efficiency in terms of capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

[0073] "Second Embodiment of Carbon Dioxide Capture Equipment" The second embodiment of the carbon dioxide capture equipment related to this disclosure will be described below with reference to Figure 3.

[0074] The carbon dioxide recovery equipment in this embodiment differs from the carbon dioxide recovery equipment in the first embodiment only in the heat transfer medium line. The heat transfer medium flowing through the heat transfer medium line 70a of the carbon dioxide recovery equipment in this embodiment is compressed air extracted from the gas turbine 1. Therefore, one end of the heat transfer medium line 70a in this embodiment is connected to the intermediate casing 3 of the gas turbine 1, and the other end of the heat transfer medium line 70a is connected to the duct 61 of the carbon dioxide recovery device 60. The heat transfer medium line 70a in this embodiment is also provided with a heat transfer medium valve 71a that can adjust the flow rate of the heat transfer medium flowing through it.

[0075] The carbon dioxide recovery device 60 in this embodiment also performs a recovery process S3 and a detachment process S4, similar to the carbon dioxide recovery device 60 in the first embodiment described according to the flowchart shown in Figure 2. However, in the detachment process S4 in this embodiment, compressed air extracted from the gas turbine 1 is used as the heat transfer medium for detaching carbon dioxide CO2 from the adsorbent 62. Therefore, the execution of the detachment process S4 in this embodiment is conditional on the gas turbine 1 being in operation.

[0076] In this embodiment as well, in order to suppress the output of the gas turbine 1, compressed air is extracted from the gas turbine 1, and this compressed air is used to drive the auxiliary turbine 33, which in turn generates electricity with the auxiliary generator 41. In the recovery process S3, the electricity generated by the auxiliary generator 41 is used to drive the inlet fan 63f and the outlet fan 64f. Therefore, in this embodiment as well, the drive power necessary to perform the recovery process S3 can be obtained.

[0077] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in order to suppress the output of the gas turbine 1, compressed air is extracted from the gas turbine 1 and this compressed air is used as a heat transfer medium to heat the adsorbent 62 in the detachment process S4.

Therefore, in this embodiment as well, the heat source and driving power necessary for executing the detachment process S4 can be obtained.

[0078] In other words, this embodiment also offers excellent economic efficiency in terms of capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

[0079] "Third Embodiment of Carbon Dioxide Capture Equipment" The third embodiment of the carbon dioxide capture equipment related to this disclosure will be described below with reference to Figure 4.

[0080] The carbon dioxide recovery equipment in this embodiment differs from the carbon dioxide recovery equipment in the first embodiment only in the extraction equipment and the heat transfer medium line. The extraction equipment 30b of the carbon dioxide recovery equipment in this embodiment is provided in the extraction line 31 and includes a boiler 39 capable of generating steam using the heat of the compressed air flowing through the extraction line 31. The heat transfer medium flowing through the heat transfer medium line 70b of the carbon dioxide recovery equipment in this embodiment is the steam generated by this boiler 39. Therefore, one end of the heat transfer medium line 70b in this embodiment is connected to the boiler 39, and the other end of the heat transfer medium line 70b is connected to the duct 61 of the carbon dioxide recovery device 60. The heat transfer medium line 70b in this embodiment is also provided with a heat transfer medium valve 71b that can adjust the flow rate of the heat transfer medium flowing through it.

[0081] The carbon dioxide recovery device 60 in this embodiment also performs a recovery process S3 and a detachment process S4, similar to the carbon dioxide recovery device 60 in the first embodiment described according to the flowchart shown in Figure 2. However, in the detachment process S4 in this embodiment, steam generated by the heat of compressed air extracted from the gas turbine 1 is used as the heat transfer medium for detaching carbon dioxide CO2 from the adsorbent 62. Therefore, the execution of the detachment process S4 in this embodiment is conditional on the gas turbine 1 being in operation.

[0082] In this embodiment as well, in order to suppress the output of the gas turbine 1, compressed air is extracted from the gas turbine 1, and this compressed air is used to drive the auxiliary turbine 33, which in turn generates electricity with the auxiliary generator 41. In the recovery process S3, the electricity generated by the auxiliary generator 41 is used to drive the inlet fan 63f and the outlet fan 64f. Therefore, in this embodiment as well, the drive power necessary to perform the recovery process S3 can be obtained.

[0083] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in order to suppress the output of the gas turbine 1, compressed air is extracted from the gas turbine 1, and steam is generated using the heat of this compressed air. This steam is then used as a heat transfer medium to heat the adsorbent 62 in the detachment process S4. In addition, in this embodiment, the electricity generated by the auxiliary generator 41 is used to drive the vacuum pump 65p in the detachment process S4. Therefore, in this embodiment as well, the heat source and driving power necessary for executing the detachment process S4 can be obtained.

[0084] In other words, this embodiment also offers excellent economic efficiency in terms of capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

[0085] "Fourth embodiment of a carbon dioxide capture system" The fourth embodiment of the carbon dioxide capture equipment related to this disclosure will be described below with reference to Figure 5.

[0086] The carbon dioxide recovery equipment in this embodiment differs from the carbon dioxide recovery equipment in the first embodiment only in the heat transfer medium line. The heat transfer medium flowing through the heat transfer medium line 70c of the carbon dioxide recovery equipment in this embodiment is steam generated by the waste heat recovery boiler 21 and has passed through the steam turbine 24. Therefore, one end of the heat transfer medium line 70c in this embodiment is connected to the steam turbine 24, and the other end of the heat transfer medium line 70 is connected to the duct 61 of the carbon dioxide recovery device 60. In addition, the heat transfer medium line 70c in this embodiment is also provided with a heat transfer medium valve 71c that can adjust the flow rate of the heat transfer medium flowing through it.

[0087] The carbon dioxide recovery device 60 in this embodiment also performs a recovery process S3 and a detachment process S4, similar to the carbon dioxide recovery device 60 in the first embodiment described according to the flowchart shown in Figure 2. However, in the detachment process S4 in this embodiment, steam that has passed through the steam turbine 24 is used as the heat transfer medium for detaching carbon dioxide CO2 from the adsorbent 62. Therefore, the execution of the detachment process S4 in this embodiment is conditional on the waste heat recovery boiler 21 generating steam.

[0088] In this embodiment as well, in order to reduce the output of the gas turbine 1, compressed air is extracted from the gas turbine 1, and this compressed air is used to drive the auxiliary turbine 33, which in turn generates electricity with the auxiliary generator 41. In the recovery process S3, the electricity generated by the auxiliary generator 41 is used to drive the inlet fan 63f and the outlet fan 64f. Therefore, in this embodiment as well, the running costs required to perform the recovery process S3 can be reduced.

[0089] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the steam that has passed through the steam turbine 24 is used as a heat transfer medium to heat the adsorbent 62 in the detachment process S4. In addition, in this embodiment, the electricity generated by the auxiliary generator 41 is used to drive the vacuum pump 65p in the detachment process S4. Therefore, in this embodiment as well, the running costs required to perform the detachment process S4 can be reduced.

[0090] In other words, this embodiment also offers excellent economic efficiency in terms of capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

[0091] "Variations" In each of the above embodiments, the carbon dioxide recovery device 60 has an inlet fan 63f and an outlet fan 64f that guide the atmosphere A into the duct 61. However, the carbon dioxide recovery device 60 may have only one of the inlet fan 63f and the outlet fan 64f.

[0092] The carbon dioxide capture equipment in each of the above embodiments includes a power storage device 45. However, this power storage device 45 may be omitted. In this case, the power stored in the power storage device 45 cannot be used to drive the inlet fan 63f, outlet fan 64f, and vacuum pump 65p, so carbon dioxide capture and carbon dioxide release are only possible when the auxiliary generator 41 is running.

[0093] The carbon dioxide recovery equipment in each of the above embodiments is equipped with a waste heat utilization equipment 20. However, the carbon dioxide recovery equipment in the first, second, and third embodiments does not need to be equipped with a waste heat utilization equipment 20.

[0094] The carbon dioxide recovery apparatus 60 in each of the above embodiments is an S-DAC (Direct Air Capture) type carbon dioxide recovery apparatus that uses a solid adsorbent 62. However, the carbon dioxide recovery apparatus may also be an L-DAC (Direct Air Capture) type carbon dioxide recovery apparatus that uses a liquid adsorbent. In the case of an L-DAC (Direct Air Capture) type carbon dioxide recovery apparatus, for example, an amine aqueous solution is used as the adsorbent. This apparatus has an absorption tower in which the amine aqueous solution is stored, a regeneration tower for regenerating the amine aqueous solution that has absorbed carbon dioxide, a pump for sending the amine aqueous solution that has absorbed carbon dioxide from the absorption tower to the regeneration tower, and a pump for returning the regenerated amine aqueous solution to the absorption tower. A heat transfer medium is used in the regeneration tower to heat the amine aqueous solution that has absorbed carbon dioxide. The electricity generated by the auxiliary generator 41 is used to drive the electric motors of each pump in this apparatus.

[0095] Furthermore, this disclosure is not limited to the embodiments and modifications described above. Various additions, modifications, substitutions, and partial deletions are possible, without departing from the conceptual idea and spirit of the present invention derived from the claims and their equivalents.

[0106] In this embodiment, steam generated using the heat produced by driving the gas turbine 1 is used as the heat transfer medium. Therefore, in this embodiment, the running costs required to perform the process of releasing carbon dioxide CO2 from the adsorbent 62 can be reduced compared to the case where a heat transfer medium is generated separately.

[0107] (6) The carbon dioxide capture equipment in the sixth embodiment is: In the carbon dioxide recovery equipment according to the fifth embodiment, the boiler 39 is a boiler capable of generating steam by utilizing the heat of the compressed air extracted from the gas turbine 1.

In this embodiment, in order to reduce the output of the gas turbine 1, steam generated using the heat of the compressed air extracted from the gas turbine 1 is used as a heat transfer medium. Therefore, in this embodiment, the running costs required to perform the process of removing carbon dioxide CO2 from the adsorbent 62 can be reduced compared to the case in which a heat transfer medium is generated separately.

[0109] (7) The carbon dioxide capture equipment in the seventh embodiment is: In the carbon dioxide recovery equipment according to the fifth embodiment, the boiler 21 is a waste heat recovery boiler capable of generating steam by utilizing the heat of the exhaust gas discharged from the gas turbine 1.

[0110] In this embodiment, steam generated using the heat of exhaust gas discharged from the gas turbine 1 is used as the heat transfer medium. Therefore, in this embodiment, the running costs required to perform the process of releasing carbon dioxide CO2 from the adsorbent 62 can be reduced compared to the case where a heat transfer medium is generated separately.

[0111] (8) The carbon dioxide capture equipment in the eighth embodiment is: In the carbon dioxide recovery equipment according to the seventh embodiment, a steam turbine 24 is provided that can be driven by steam generated in the waste heat recovery boiler 21. The heat transfer medium line 70c can guide steam from the steam turbine 24 to the carbon dioxide recovery device 60 as the heat transfer medium.

[0112] The steam from the steam turbine 24 has a lower energy level than the steam that does not reach the steam turbine 24. In this embodiment, the steam from the steam turbine 24 is used as the heat transfer medium. Therefore, in this embodiment, the running costs required to perform the process of removing carbon dioxide CO2 from the adsorbent 62 can be reduced compared to the case where a heat transfer medium is generated separately.

The storage battery 46 is capable of storing power from the external power system 59 via the power lines 51c, 51s, 51f, and 51p.

[0114] (10) The carbon dioxide capture equipment in the tenth embodiment is In the carbon dioxide capture equipment according to the ninth embodiment described above, the devices 63, 64, and 65 can be driven by power from the external power system 59.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the degree of flexibility in the driving timing of the devices 63, 64, and 65 of the carbon dioxide capture device 60 can be increased compared to when the storage battery 46 is not present.

[0118] (12) The carbon dioxide capture equipment in the twelfth embodiment is: In the carbon dioxide recovery equipment according to any one of the first to eight embodiments described above, the carbon dioxide recovery device 60 has electrically driven equipment 63, 64, 65.

[0121] In this embodiment, the power generated by the auxiliary generator 41 and stored in the battery 46 can be used to drive the components 63, 64, and 65 of the carbon dioxide capture device 60. On the other hand, if the battery 46 is not present, the auxiliary generator 41 must be generating power in order to drive the components 63, 64, and 65 of the carbon dioxide capture device 60. Therefore, in this embodiment, the degree of flexibility in the driving timing of the components 63, 64, and 65 of the carbon dioxide capture device 60 can be increased compared to when the battery 46 is not present.
