Patent ID: 7971424

Claim:
A power generating plant comprising: a heat cycle system which includes a compressor, a first turbine, first and second heat exchangers, a pump and an expander; a power generator driven by the first turbine; an output terminal for supplying electric power to the outside; a first motor for driving the compressor; a second motor for driving the pump; and a wire arranged so as to electrically connect the power generator, the output terminal, the first motor and the second motor, wherein working gas compressed in the compressor drives the first turbine and is thereafter cooled by passing through a heat dissipating side of the first heat exchanger and then raised in pressure by the pump to form high-pressure working liquid, the high-pressure working liquid is expanded and evaporated in the expander to form working gas, the working gas is heated by passing through a heat absorbing side of the second heat exchanger before being introduced into the compressor, and a heat dissipating side of the second heat exchanger is comprised of a low-temperature chamber or a waste-heat dissipating portion of a heating machine.
