Abstract: A power generation system comprising: a liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification unit configured to perform a regasification process to regasify LNG supplied from an LNG source to produce natural gas, the regasification process producing cold energy; a gas turbine configured to combust the natural gas to output power, the combusting producing an exhaust gas; a thermal storage unit configured to store heat obtained from the exhaust gas; and a Stirling engine configured to output power, the Stirling engine having a hot end heated by the heat stored in the thermal storage unit and a cold end cooled by the cold energy from the regasification process.
