Abstract
A system is described for allowing short term power augmentation of a gas turbine or a gas turbine combined cycle power plant. A reservoir of pressurized and/or liquefied gas is installed to store a transient supply of gas turbine working fluid. This supply of working fluid is available for near instantaneous admission to the gas turbine at the compressor discharge or combustion system to boost output, as may be desirable to assist in supporting electrical grid frequency during a transient disturbance (frequency reduction).
