Abstract
Said method is implemented via a power generation unit comprising at least one combustion turbine configured to generate, at defined site conditions, without cooling or heating of the incoming air stream, a defined site electrical or/and mechanical power lower than a predefined maximum required electrical or/and mechanical power.The method comprises the following steps cooling the incoming air stream when the power requested by the consumer system is greater than the defined site power of the power generation unit at the defined site conditions, and is lower than or equal to the predefined maximum required power; heating the incoming air flow when the power requested by the consumer system is lower than the defined site power of the power generation unit at the defined site conditions.
