Abstract

A gas turbine includes: a compressor configured to compress air; a combustor configured to combust fuel in the air compressed by the compressor so as to generate combustion gas; and a turbine configured to be driven using the combustion gas. Air coolers are configured to bleed the air from a plurality of places having different pressures in the compressor and cool the air bled from the respective places so as to generate cooling air. A waste heat recovery device is configured to recover waste heat from at least two of the air coolers.
