Abstract
A generating plant is driven by a gas turbine, which is run with combustion gases from gas coming from a carbon pressure reactor and which obtains the combustion air necessary for its operation from a primary compressor driven by the gas turbine by means of a final compressor connected at the outlet side of the primary compressor. The final compressor is driven by an expansion turbine connected between the pressure reactor and the combustion chamber acting to produce the combustion gases. During starting up of such a plant the pressure reactor is operated with extraneous air which is primarily compressed by a starting compressor and further compressed by the final compressor which is powered by a pony motor, the expansion turbine being disconnected until it reaches operating speed.
