An intake air temperature control device for a gas and steam turbine plant, comprising:
- a first heat exchanger which is connected at one side into an intake air line and at the other side into a circuit of an intake air preheating system;
- and
- a reservoir for a cooled heat transfer fluid which may be thermally coupled to the circuit in order to cool intake air,
- wherein in order to utilize a capacity of the gas and steam turbine plant, a portion of the generated energy may be converted into cooled fluid and stored.
A method for operating an intake air temperature control device for a gas and steam turbine plant having an intake air preheating system, comprising:
- cooling a fluid by means of a portion of a generated energy and stored in a reservoir in order to utilize a capacity of the gas and steam turbine plant;
- drawing off the fluid from the reservoir for the purpose of transferring heat;
- and
- supplying the fluid to the intake air preheating system for the purpose of cooling intake air.
