PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide commercial and/or technical advantages compared with a conventional gas turbine.SOLUTION: A gas turbine includes a compressor, a combustor downstream from the compressor and a heat transfer system, wherein the heat transfer system receives a compressed working fluid from the compressor. A fluid coupling is between the heat transfer system and the combustor, wherein the fluid coupling receives the compressed working fluid from the heat transfer system. A conditioner is in fluid communication with the compressor and a fluid coupling is between the heat transfer system and the conditioner, wherein the fluid coupling receives a cooling media from the heat transfer system. A method for operating the gas turbine includes steps of flowing the compressed working fluid from the compressor to the heat transfer system, transferring heat energy from the compressed working fluid to the heat transfer system, flowing the compressed working fluid from the heat transfer system to the combustor, and flowing a cooling media from the heat transfer system to a compressor inlet. |
