Therefore, the power station is also making an important contribution to the stability of the Slovakian electricity grid. While technically this will work with a wide range of cycles, including Otto and diesel, in the context of power plants combined cycle always refers to a gas turbine (Rankine Cycle)/steam turbine (Brayton cycle) combination. Low grade waste heat from the steam generator exhaust can be used within the plant, to dry the biomass fuel before it is fed into the gasifier or to preheat the fuel before entry into the gasifier reactor vessel. The estimated time for the project is For this project, Abengoa has subcontracted Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas to supply the power block equipment which involves the gas turbine, the steam turbine and the heat recovery steam generator. The Malzenice gas and steam turbine power station can be utilized very flexibly and can thus balance any load fluctuations in the grid reliably and quickly. Steam turbine, producing more power. The most attractive means of utilising a biomass gasifier for power generation is to integrate the gasification process into a gas turbine combined cycle power plant. In the foreground there are two steam turbine plants and on the right side there are four “Combined Cycle” plants. Combined cycle plants have both a gas turbine fired by natural gas, and a steam boiler and steam turbine which use the hot exhaust gas from the gas turbine to produce electricity. Abengoa will be responsible for the engineering, design and construction of the combined cycle power plant under the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) "turnkey" system. Here the contrast is stark as nuclear power is more labor intensive than natural gas power.
