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 15):
A method of generating electricity comprising:\n providing torque to a rotor assembly by a turbine; rotating a shaft of the rotor assembly for rotation within a stator assembly; rotating the stator assembly; supplying a gas flow to a gas entry assembly having a first cavity; dispersing the gas flow to the rotor assembly into a second cavity of the rotor assembly from the gas entry assembly; dispersing the gas flow within the stator assembly into a third cavity from the rotor assembly; extracting heat from the rotor assembly and the stator assembly, wherein the heat generated by the rotor assembly and the stator assembly is transferred to the gas flow producing a recovery gas flow; receiving the recovery gas flow into a gas exit assembly having a fourth cavity for transferring the recovery gas flow to compressor; compressing the recovery gas flow; regulating the pressure of the recovery gas flow to a desired value; delivering the compressed recovery gas flow to the turbine; cooling the recovery gas flow using an expansion cooler; and delivering the cooled recovery gas flow to supply the gas flow to the gas entry assembly.
