Abstract
A combined-type gas turbine engine system is provided which achieves high efficiency by very effectively using exhaust heat from a gas turbine engine. In a gas turbine engine system including: a compressor for compressing a first working medium; a heater for heating the compressed first working medium by an external heat source; a turbine for outputting power from the first working medium; an intermediate cooler provided at the compressor for cooling the first working medium compressed by a low-pressure compression part of the compressor and supplying the first working medium to a high-pressure compression part of the compressor; and an exhaust heat boiler using as a heating medium an exhaust gas from the turbine, a Rankine cycle engine using the intermediate cooler and the exhaust heat boiler as heat sources and a cooling medium of the intermediate cooler as a second working medium.
