SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUGMENTING GAS TURBINE POWER OUTPUT WITH A PRESSURIZED AIR TANK AND/OR AN EXTERNAL COMPRESSOR

摘要

A system for augmenting gas turbine power output is disclosed. The system may include a gas turbine engine having a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine. The system also may include a pressurized air tank in communication with the gas turbine engine. Moreover, the system may include an external compressor in communication with the pressurized air tank. The external compressor may be configured to supply compressed air to the pressurized air tank, and the pressurized air tank may be configured to supply compressed air to the gas turbine engine.
