Abstract:
1. A system for enhancing performance of a gas turbine, the system comprising: a. a compressed air supply comprising a compressor of the gas turbine; b. a compressed air storage plenum in fluid communication with the compressed air supply, the compressed air storage plenum being configured to store a compressed air from the compressed air supply; c. an inlet plenum sealingly coupled to an inlet of the compressor, the inlet plenum being in fluid communication with the compressed air storage plenum and the inlet of the compressor, wherein the inlet plenum is pressurized with the compressed air from the compressed air storage plenum during augmented mode of operation of the gas turbine; and d. a bleed air flow path that extends between one of a to or an exhaust gas section of the gas turbine and the compressed air storage plenum, wherein the bleed air flow path provides for fluid communication between the turbine or the exhaust gas section and the compressed air storage plenum.
