Abstract
In the case of a gas turbine, containing a turbine (10) and a compressor (11), it is intended PA1 a) to increase the efficiency of the individual components (10, 11), PA1 b) to reduce the undesired exhaust gases, i.e. NOx formation. Means (21) of generating cooling air of higher quality are used. In particular, cooling air of higher quality can be generated by a booster (21) which contains a booster compressor (23) and a booster turbine (22). A further increase in efficiency is achieved by a heat exchangers (29, 30) on the booster (21). The booster turbine (21) is driven by the fuel and the booster compressor (23) compresses the compressed air generated in the compressor (12) to form the cooling air of higher quality. The advantage of this plant is the utilization of previously unused energy of natural gas.
