ABSTRACT:
A seasonally configurable combined cycle cogeneration plant of the type having a gas turbine unit for producing power and hot exhaust gases, includes a heat recovery water heater for receiving the exhaust gases. The heat recovery water heater contains an indirect contact heat exchanger for exchanging heat in the exhaust gases with water in the heat exchanger which produces hot water as a result. The plant further includes a hot water utilization device responsive to hot water supplied thereto for utilizing heat in the hot water in an amount that varies seasonally. Also included is an organic Rankine cycle converter having a vaporizer responsive to hot water supplied thereto for producing organic vapor, an organic vapor turbine for expanding the organic vapor and producing expanded organic vapor and power, an organic vapor condenser for condensing the expanded organic vapor and producing condensate, and means for returning the condensate to the vaporizer. Selectively adjustable valves connect the heat recovery water heater to the hot water utilization device and to the converter for selectively regulating the amount of hot water supplied to the vaporizer of the converter and to the hot water utilization device.
