A steam-augmented gas turbine engine system generally includes a compressor (3), first and second combustors (4a, 4b), a compressor turbine (6) and a power turbine (7). A heat exchanging system (8b) removes heat from an exhaust product from the power turbine (7) and preheats water which has been desalinated by a water purification system (12). The desalinated water is provided to the first combustor (4a), as a predetermined quantity of water-stream mass, along with fuel and compressed air, and is used to efficiently power the turbine system. In one embodiment, a two-boiler system (8b) is employed in which first and second steam outputs are provided to first and second combustors (4a, 4b) such that a mass flow of the compressor turbine (6) is substantially constant from a Cheng point to a stoichiometric point of a predetermined power profile. This constancy of mass flow ensures that the gas generator operates on design from the Cheng point to the stoichiometric combustion point. Additionally, the free-power turbine (7) always operates on design. |
