Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a power plant line, comprising a steam turbine and/or gas turbine that rotates at a constant speed in order to drive an electric generator; a variable-speed pump for conveying and/or compressing a working medium in order to drive and/or supply the process of the steam turbine and/or the gas turbine or to pump and/or compress an exhaust gas produced in the process supply or in the gas turbine. The invention is characterized in that the variable-speed pump is driven by the steam turbine and/or gas turbine and a speed-controllable gear train is arranged in the driving connection, said gear train having a power split, which comprises a mechanical main branch and a hydrodynamic secondary branch, wherein driving power is branched off from the mechanical main branch via a hydrodynamic coupling or a hydrodynamic converter by means of the hydrodynamic secondary branch and fed back to the mechanical main branch at the output side of the gear train in a variable-speed manner by means of a superimposing gear train.
