Abstract
The gas turbine power generation system includes a core engine and a low pressure compressor. The core engine includes a high pressure compressor, a combustor, and a high pressure turbine configured in a serial flow arrangement. The high pressure compressor and the high pressure turbine are coupled together by a first shaft. The low pressure compressor is positioned axially forward of the core engine and is coupled to the first shaft.
