Abstract: The present application provides a power generation system. The power generation system may include a core turbine positioned about a core rotor shaft, a power turbine positioned about a power rotor shaft, a synchronous generator including a generator rotor shaft coupled to the power rotor shaft for rotation therewith, and an electronic controller in operable communication with the synchronous generator. The synchronous generator may be configured to generate reactive power for or absorb reactive power from an electric power grid when the power generation system operates in a reactive power mode. The electronic controller may be operable to cause the core rotor shaft to rotate when the power generation system operates in the reactive power mode.

Abstract: A system includes an air cooling system having a heat exchanger, a fan, and a mount. The heat exchanger includes an inlet, an outlet, and a heat exchange conduit between the inlet and the outlet. The inlet is configured to couple to a bleed system of a gas turbine system to extract a bleed flow. The heat exchanger is configured to cool the bleed flow along the heat exchange conduit in a surrounding air to produce a cooled bleed flow. The outlet is configured to couple to a fuel purge system of the gas turbine system to supply the cooled bleed flow as a fuel purge flow. The fan is configured to force an airflow from the surrounding air through the heat exchanger. The mount is configured to mount the air cooling system outside of an enclosure surrounding the gas turbine system.
