Patent ID: 7143581

Claim:
A gas turbine plant comprising: an air compressor; a gas turbine including a high temperature section; a driven equipment, said air compressor, said gas turbine and said driven equipment being operatively connected in series; a gas turbine combustor arranged between the air compressor and the gas turbine; a fuel system for supplying a fuel to the gas turbine combustor; a high pressure air supply system operatively connected to the high temperature section of the gas turbine for supplying a high pressure air from the air compressor thereto; and a heat exchange section provided for the high pressure air supply system for heating the fuel supplied to the gas turbine combustor from the fuel system, the high pressure air after the heating being supplied to the high temperature section of the gas turbine as a cooling medium and the high pressure air after cooling the high temperature section being joined with a gas turbine driving gas, wherein the high pressure air supply system is divided into a plurality of high pressure air supply sections in accordance with a magnitude of pressure loss of the high pressure air passing through the high temperature section of the gas turbine, said plurality of high pressure air supply sections each being provided with a flow distributing device.
