Abstract

In a method of operating a gas turbine group (34) with or without integrated steam process (20) and with or without an air reservoir installation (20), a series connection with one and the same air mass flow (16, 17) is used for cooling one or more structures (15, 18, 19) which are in effective connection with the mass flow of the gas turbine group (34), the cooling air mass flow being extracted from a position which has a sufficiently low temperature.
