Abstract
A gas turbine installation (1), in particular in a power plant for generating electricity, includes a turboset (2) having a turbine (4), a compressor (5) and a combustion chamber (6) arranged in a gas path (9) connecting the compressor (5) to the turbine (4), and a flue gas recirculation device (3), which passes combustion flue gas from the turbine (4) from a flue gas path (14) connected to the turbine (4) via a recirculation path (16) to a fresh gas path (13) connected to the compressor (5). To improve the efficiency of the gas turbine installation (1), a control device (17) controls a volumetric flow and/or a temperature of the recirculated combustion flue gases in such a way that a fresh gas/flue gas mixture which enters the compressor (5) is at a predetermined desired temperature.
