To provide a power generation system which eliminates the possibility of burning and generates power at low costs.SOLUTION: A power generation system 100 includes: a hydrate generation part 120 which cools a gas-liquid mixture of raw water and inactive gas with a first fluid to generate a hydrate of the inactive gas; a hydrate decomposition part 150 which heats the generated hydrate with a second fluid having a temperature higher than the first fluid to decompose the hydrate into the raw water and the inactive gas; an expander 172 which is rotated by the inactive gas generated by the hydrate decomposition part 150; and a power generator 174 which generates power by rotation of the expander 172.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】燃焼のおそれがなく、また、低コストで発電する。【解決手段】発電システム１００は、原料水と不活性ガスとの気液混合物を第１の流体で冷却して、不活性ガスのハイドレートを生成するハイドレート生成部１２０と、生成されたハイドレートを、第１の流体より高温の第２の流体で加熱して、原料水と不活性ガスとに分解するハイドレート分解部１５０と、ハイドレート分解部１５０で生じた不活性ガスによって回転される膨張機１７２と、膨張機１７２の回転によって発電する発電機１７４とを備える。【選択図】図１
