Abstract:
1. A fossil-fueled power station, comprising: a steam generator; a live steam line; a hot reheater line; a first steam turbine having a high pressure stage connected to the steam generator via the live steam line and having a medium- and low-pressure stage, the first steam turbine also connected to the downstream side of the steam generator via the hot reheater line; a cold reheater steam return line extending from the first steam turbine to the steam generator; a condenser connected downstream from the first steam turbine; a carbon dioxide separation device comprising a heat exchanger, the carbon dioxide separation device connected via a process steam line to the hot reheater line of the steam generator; a condensate line extending from the heat exchanger to the condenser; and a back-pressure steam turbine, separate and distinct from the first steam turbine, connected to the process steam line and positioned between the hot reheater line and the carbon dioxide separation device, a portion of the hot reheater line and the first steam turbine extending along a first path to the condenser, with the process steam line, the back-pressure steam turbine, the heat exchanger and the condensate line extending along a second path to the condenser parallel to the first path.
