    Abstract: A system and method are provided for a compressed air energy storage (CAES) system. The system and method may include compressing a process gas with a compressor train to produce a compressed process gas. The compressed process gas may be directed to a compressed gas storage unit and stored therein. The compressed process gas from the compressed gas storage unit may be released to a heat recovery unit via a feed line. The heat recovery unit may heat the compressed process gas and direct the heated compressed process gas to an expansion assembly to generate a power output. Feed water from a feed water source may be heated in the heat recovery unit to produce steam for injection into a combustion turbine assembly. The combustion turbine assembly may heat the heat recovery unit via an exhaust line.

    Abstract: A gas turbine assembly and method for operating the gas turbine assembly are provided. The method for operating the gas turbine assembly may include compressing a process fluid containing inlet air through a compressor to produce compressed inlet air, combining fuel from a main fuel source with the process fluid, and preheating the process fluid containing the inlet air and the fuel in a warmer disposed downstream from the compressor. The method may also include heating an oxidizer by flowing the preheated process fluid from the warmer to the oxidizer, and oxidizing the process fluid containing the compressed inlet air and the fuel in the oxidizer to produce an oxidation product. The method may further include expanding the oxidation product in a turbine to generate rotational energy, and preventing the process fluid from flowing upstream to the compressor with a check valve.
