Abstract
A power generation system () and method of operating such a system () including a steam turbine (). In one embodiment a HRSG () includes an evaporator () coupled to receive condensate from the steam turbine (), and a superheater () coupled to receive output from the evaporator (). The HRSG () generates steam with thermal energy received from a combustion turbine (). A flash tank () receives water heated in the HRSG (), outputs a first portion of the water as steam, and outputs a second portion of the water as liquid. A flow line () passes steam () from the flash tank () to a combustion chamber () in the combustion turbine () to provide power augmentation.
