  • Patent number: 11274575
    Abstract: A gas turbine plant includes a gas turbine, an exhaust heat recovery boiler, and a water supply system that is configured to supply water to the exhaust heat recovery boiler. The exhaust heat recovery boiler has an evaporator configured to use an exhaust gas to heat water, thereby generating steam, and a reheater that is configured to heat steam with the exhaust gas introduced from the evaporator. The water supply system has a water supply line that is configured to supply water from a water supply source to the exhaust heat recovery boiler, and a supplied water temperature regulator that is configured to regulate a temperature of supplied water, which is the water in the water supply line.

  • Patent number: 10927713
    Abstract: An intake air cooling device includes a water supply line and a heat pump device. The water supply line is configured to send water to a waste heat recovery boiler which is configured to generate steam using heat of an exhaust gas from a gas turbine. The heat pump device is configured to transfer heat of air suctioned by the gas turbine to water flowing through the water supply line and thereby cool the air while heating the water.
