Abstract
A land based gas turbine plant includes a turbine compressor, a turbine section, and a combustor between the compressor and the turbine section. A heat recovery boiler incorporating at least one heat exchange section is arranged to receive exhaust gas from the turbine section, the heat recovery boiler receiving water passed in heat exchange relationship with the exhaust gas to produce steam. An external compressor supplies augmenting combustion air that is mixed with the steam produced in the heat recovery boiler to produce a mixture of steam and air that is injected into the combustor.
