Abstract
A turbine system structured to generate electricity from waste gas includes a combustor structured to burn gas to heat air, a heat exchanger structured to receive the heated air, and a turbine energy conversion system including a compressor turbine structured to compress ambient air and provide the compressed air to the heat exchanger, wherein the heat exchanger is structured to heat the compressed air with the heated air, a generator turbine structured to be turned by the heated compressed air from the decompressor turbine, and a generator structured to be turned by the generator turbine and to generate electricity in response to being turned. The turbine system further includes a mixer structured to receive excess air from the heat exchanger and the generator turbine and to mix the excess air with ambient air to a desired temperature.
