Abstract:
Systems and methods for generating electricity in an efficient manner using a recovery gas flow are provided. The electric generation system may comprise recovery turbine coupled to an electric generation assembly, wherein a rotor assembly is rotatably coupled to a rotating stator assembly for generating electricity. The electric generation assembly may include a heat recovery generator, wherein the heat from the generation of electricity is transferred to a flow of gas to produce a recovery gas flow. During operation, this recovery gas flow can be used as a prime mover to rotate the rotor and conserve energy. Particularly, the system may include a compressor coupled to receive and compress the recovery gas flow, such that the recovery gas flow may supply energy to the recovery turbine. Further, an expansion cooler may cool the recovery gas flow to providing the initial gas flow that circulates through out the system.

Claim (Index 1):
An electric generation system comprising:\n a recovery turbine; an electric generation assembly coupled to the recovery turbine, wherein the electric generation assembly comprises:\n a rotating stator rotated by a prime mover; \n a rotor rotatably positioned within the rotating stator, wherein the rotation of the rotor is counter to the rotation of the rotating stator; and \n a heat recovery generator, wherein the rotating stator and the rotor are seated within the heat recovery generator and the rotor is rotated using recovery gas flow from the recovery turbine that propagates through the heat recovery generator; \n a compressor coupled to receive the recovery gas flow; a high pressure storage tank couples to receive the compressed gas flow for surge volume control of the compressed gas, wherein the compressed gas raises the pressure of the high pressure storage tank; and a spring loaded check valve coupled to an outlet of the high pressure storage tank to regulate the flow of compressed gas to the recovery turbine, wherein the spring loaded check valve opens when the high pressure storage tank is higher than the minimum pressure required for the recovery turbine operation.
