1. A turbine arrangement comprising
a compressor for sucking combustion air and compressing it into a combustion air supply,
a recuperator arranged in the combustion air supply for applying heat energy to the combustion air,
a combustion chamber having a combustion chamber inlet side and a combustion chamber outlet side, with the combustion air supply arranged on the combustion chamber inlet side and a combustion gas exhaust arranged on the combustion chamber outlet side for discharging combustion exhaust,
a gas turbine which is connected on a gas turbine inlet side to the combustion gas exhaust of the combustion chamber and on a gas turbine outlet side an exhaust gas discharge that discharges exhaust gas,
the exhaust gas discharge being guided through the recuperator,
a heat exchanger, which is thermally connected to the exhaust gas discharge, for applying heat from the exhaust gas to a working medium, the working medium being vaporizable,
an expansion turbine, which has a working medium supply on an expansion turbine inlet side, for expanding the working medium to create an expanded working medium, the expanded working medium being discharged on an expansion turbine outlet side via a working medium discharge,
wherein the compressor, the gas turbine and the expansion turbine are arranged on a common shaft which is connected to a generator for generating electrical energy.
