    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for cooling ambient air to be supplied as combustion air to a gas turbine. The system comprises a closed coolant loop direct expansion cooling system including a compressor for compressing a suitable working fluid, an expansion device downstream from the compressor for expanding the working fluid so as to cool a cooling coil. The cooling coil is in heat exchange relation with ambient air flowing to the gas turbine for lowering the temperature of the ambient air to a lower temperature such that combustion air delivered to the gas turbine is below the ambient temperature thereby to increase the efficiency of the gas turbine. A return line is provided for returning the working fluid to the compressor.

    Abstract: A system and method for efficiency and revitalization of power plant assets allows for existing fossil fuel burning power plants to operate in tandem with renewable power sources and to operate at a consistent base load. The system and method reduce fossil fuel burning power plant power/load cycling and improve efficiency, increase power plant useful lifetime, and reduce emissions. The system and method allow for substantially consistent power output regardless of power demand and power supply generation from existing fossil fuel burning power plants and renewable energy sources supplying a common grid.
