Patent ID: 7353653

Claim:
A hybrid ultra reliable power generating system comprising: a) a primary power unit producing electric power that is supplied to a load; and b) a secondary power unit in the form of a closed cycle vapor turbine (CCVT) system which is heated by the rejected heat of the primary power unit and produces electric power that is supplied to a load, wherein working fluid in the vaporizer of the (CCVT) is heated by the heat rejected by the primary power unit, the improvement of said power generating system being that said secondary power unit is capable of producing only approximately 5 to 15% of the electric power that is produced by the primary power unit; and wherein said CCVT includes a burner that combusts the same fuel as supplied to the primary power unit and supplies sufficient heat so that the CCVT continues to produce approximately 5 to 15% of power produced by said primary power unit upon a power outage of the primary power unit.
