Abstract
Electrical power systems, including generating capacity of a gas turbine, where additional electrical power is generated utilizing a separately fueled system during periods of peak electrical power demand.
Claims11
A method of operating a gas turbine energy system comprising:
- (a) operating a gas turbine system comprising a compressor, a combustor case, a combustor, and a turbine, fluidly connected to each other;
- (b) pressurizing ambient air using a supplemental compressor driven by a fueled engine;
- (c) injecting said pressurized air into a rotor cooling air circuit upstream of a rotor air cooler;
- and
- (d) adding exhaust of the fueled engine to exhaust of the turbine, the fueled engine exhaust bypassing the combustor.
