Abstract
In a method of operating a power station plant which essentially comprises a gas-turbine group and a steam circuit arranged downstream, a portion of the condensate collecting from this steam circuit is directed to an intercooler, which belongs to the compressor of the gas-turbine group and in which the condensate is heated up to form hot water. This hot water is then introduced directly or via a further heating-up means into the gas-turbine group at a suitable point.
