Abstract: A system includes a fuel heating system having a first heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger is fluidly coupled to a steam turbine system, a gas turbine system, a carbon capture system, and a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The first heat exchanger is configured to receive steam from the HRSG, the steam turbine system, or a combination thereof. The first heat exchanger is also configured to receive a fuel. The first heat exchanger is also configured to place the steam in a first heat exchange relationship with the fuel to produce a first heated fuel and a first cooled steam. The first heat exchanger is also configured to send the first cooled steam to the carbon capture system. The first heat exchanger is also configured to send the first heated fuel to the gas turbine system, a duct burner, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A system including a gas turbine system including a compressor configured to compress an oxidant; a combustor configured to receive and combust a fuel; a turbine driven by combustion products from the combustor; an exhaust gas recirculation system configured to recirculate exhaust gas along an exhaust recirculation path; and an inlet sensor adjacent to the inlet of the compressor, the inlet sensor detects one or more characteristics; a generator driven by the turbine, wherein the generator generates electrical power and exports to an electrical grid; and a control system including: one or more dampers along the exhaust recirculation path and actuatable between open and closed positions; and a controller configured to receive sensor data, the sensor data associated with a characteristic at the inlet; and modulate at least one of the dampers based on the received sensor data to control an amount of exhaust gas injected into the compressor.

Abstract: A gas turbine inlet system includes a first passage that delivers inlet air to a compressor, a second passage that delivers fuel to a combustor, and a heat pump that transfers heat from the inlet air to the fuel by consuming electric power. The heat transfer causes the turbine inlet air temperature to drop and fuel temperature to increase with favorable effects on both turbine output and heat rate.
