Abstract
Hydrogen-fueled gas turbine power system comprising a compressor (22), a combustor (24) and a turbine (26) as well as a fuel supply device (10). The fuel supply device (10) has the form of a hydrogen gas producing reactor system with at least one reactor (12) based on sorption enhanced steam methane reforming (SE-SMR) and/or sorption enhanced water gas shift (SE-WGS) of syngas. The reactor (12) is connected in a closed loop with a regenerator (14) for circulating and regenerating a CO2 absorber between the reactor (12) and the regenerator (14). Additionally, there is a closed heat exchange loop (21) between the regenerator (14) of the hydrogen gas producing reactor system (10) and the downstream end of the combustor (24) or the upstream end of the turbine (26). A method of its use is also contemplated.
