ABSTRACT:
In an air reservoir turbine, comprising a gas turbine group connected for selectable delivery of compressed air from a compressor unit and a compressed air reservoir, and including a hot water reservoir and a waste heat steam generator downstream of the gas turbine group, an amount of steam from the waste heat steam generator is introduced into the gas turbine group and is used for increasing its output. Additionally, hot water from various intercoolers and a heat exchanger is generated in connection with the compressor unit of the gas turbine group. The amount of steam obtained therefrom is admixed to the compressed working air and is used as combustion air for operating the gas turbine group.
