Abstract
A method is provided to ensure that a combustion turbine power generation system may operate at maximum allowable power at elevated ambient temperature and/or at low air density. The method includes providing at least one combustion turbine assembly including a compressor, an expansion turbine operatively associated with the compressor, a generator coupled with the expansion turbine; a combustor feeding the expansion turbine; flow path structure fluidly connecting an outlet of the compressor to an inlet of the combustor.
