Abstract
The present invention discloses a method and system for augmenting shaft output of stationary gas turbines that can be used in multiple modes of operation. The system comprises a washing unit () adapted to inject a spray () of atomized liquid so as to impinge on the compressor blades () in order to wet said blades (), thereby obtaining a release of fouling material from said blades (); and at least one liquid injection unit () adapted to inject a spray () of atomized liquid into an air stream of said turbine duct () or at the gas turbine () in order to increase a mass flow of said air flow, wherein the power output from said gas turbine engine can be augmented. With the invention follows also benefits such as fuel savings and improved environmental performance by reduction of emissions.
