Abstract

An installation for generating energy comprises a compressor assembly for compressing air, having a low-pressure compressor, which is connected to a high-pressure compressor via a primary air path. Furthermore, a compressor turbine assembly is provided for the purpose of driving the low-pressure compressor and/or the high-pressure compressor. The installation also has a combustion device for burning a suitable mixture of compressed air and a fuel, and a power turbine with a rotatable shaft for releasing mechanical energy. An exhaust-gas pipe system is connected to the exhaust-gas outlet of the power turbine. The installation comprises a secondary air path which, at an inlet end thereof, is connected between the outlet of the low-pressure compressor and the inlet of the high-pressure compressor, in such a manner that, of the compressed air originating from the outlet of the low-pressure compressor, a primary airflow passes via the primary air path to the high-pressure compressor and a secondary airflow passes into the secondary air path. At the secondary air path, first water injection means are provided for injecting water into the secondary airflow. The secondary air path is connected, at an outlet end thereof, to the connection between the outlet of the compressor turbine assembly and the inlet of the power turbine.
