SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GAS TURBINE PART LOAD EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT

摘要

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a gas turbine system for part load efficiency improvement is described. The system includes a gas turbine having a compressor which receives inlet-air. An evaporative cooler system using heated fluid heats the inlet-air before the inlet-air flows to the compressor. Heating the inlet-air reduces an output of the gas turbine and extends the turndown range.
