ABSTRACT:
A process and an installation produces electric power or cogenerates electric and thermal power. A hydrocarbon fuel is enriched through an endothermic reforming reaction on a mixture of the fuel with steam or water. The heat for the reforming reaction is supplied by the combustion of a material, preferably biomass, different from the hydrocarbon fuel. The process integrates this reforming reaction in a gas turbine installation, wherein up to 12% of the exhaust gases of the gas turbine are used as comburant air for the combustion of the material. The process is shown to have little or even no impact on the gas turbine cycle performance when no reforming is applied.
