PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently consuming an excess air flow.SOLUTION: A power generation system includes a first gas turbine system 102, including a first turbine component 104, a first integral compressor 106 and a first combustor 108 to which air from the first integral compressor and fuel are supplied, the first combustor arranged to supply hot combustion gases to the first turbine component, and the first integral compressor having a flow capacity greater than an intake capacity of the first combustor and/or the first gas turbine component, creating an excess air flow 200. A second gas turbine system 140 includes similar components to the first gas turbine system except not having an excess capacity in its compressor. A control valve system 202 controls a flow of the excess air flow from the first gas turbine system to the second gas turbine system. A heat exchanger 252 may be coupled to the excess air flow path 250 for exchanging heat with the excess air flow.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
