Abstract:
1. A system for augmenting power output from a gas turbine comprising: (a) a pump unit; (b) a control unit connected to the pump unit, the control unit regulating the operation of the pump unit according to a predetermined computational fluid dynamic analysis transfer function based on at least one defined parameter to form a control model; (c) a washing unit connected to the pump unit, the washing unit comprising at least one nozzle and at least one valve for controlling a water flow rate fed to the at least one nozzle; (d) at least one water injection unit connecting to the pump unit, the at least one water injection unit comprising at least one nozzle and at least one valve for controlling a water flow rate fed to the at least one nozzle; (e) a weather monitoring unit connected to the control unit, wherein the weather unit indicates at least one of the at least one defined parameters; (f) a water collecting unit connected to said pump unit by a conduit and adapted to collect water emanating from the gas turbine engine; and (g) a water processing unit connected to the water collecting unit, wherein the water processing unit is adapted to purify said collected water.
