A system having at least one processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising receiving a temperature of a cooling fluid in a cooling fluid loop of a coolant distribution unit, comparing the temperature to a predetermined temperature, resulting in a comparison, and modulating a valve based on the comparison to adjust a flow of a supply fluid in a supply fluid loop of the coolant distribution unit, wherein modulating the valve increases or decreases the temperature of the cooling fluid. A method controls the valve.

TURBINE INLET AIR COOLING SYSTEMS WITH CONDENSATE WATER RECOVERY
A method and system for enhancing power generated by a gas turbine system. The system may include a turbine inlet cooling system and a wet compression air fogging system. Air entering the gas turbine system is cooled by the turbine inlet cooling system and the wet compression air fogging system. The wet compression air fogging system may increase the mass flow rate of the air entering the gas turbine system at the compressor.

Embodiments provide a method and apparatus to lower the temperature and heat content of the ambient air at the inlet to a gas combustion turbine to enhance power generation. Embodiments can use multiple, staged direct contact air chillers, variable flow secondary water chilling systems, constant flow primary water chilling systems with water chilling units arranged for parallel chilled water flow, and a coolant water circulation system used for heat rejection with open cooling towers. Alternatives can use a chilled water thermal storage system, and/or waste heat to drive at least part of the water chilling process. With the included apparatus a method to allow adiabatic air chilling is available for operation during periods of lower ambient air conditions when needs for power augmentation may not be as great.
A chiller plant includes a first pump module (53) having at least one first pump module wall (65); a second pump module (55) having at least one second pump module wall; and a plurality of chiller modules (51) each having at least one chiller module wall. The first pump module, the second pump module, and the plurality of chiller modules may be placed together to form the chiller plant. The at least one first pump module wall, the at least one second pump module wall, and the chiller module walls may collectively form a perimeter wall around at least a portion of the chiller plant. Other embodiments of the chiller plant, and methods for its use, are described herein.

Method and apparatus for cooling the ambient air at the inlet of gas combustion turbine generators
Embodiments provide a method and apparatus to lower the temperature and heat content of the ambient air at the inlet to a gas combustion turbine to enhance power generation. Embodiments can use multiple, staged direct contact air chillers, variable flow secondary water chilling systems, constant flow primary water chilling systems with water chilling units arranged for parallel chilled water flow, and a coolant water circulation system used for heat rejection with open cooling towers. Alternatives can use a chilled water thermal storage system, and/or waste heat to drive at least part of the water chilling process. With the included apparatus a method to allow adiabatic air chilling is available for operation during periods of lower ambient air conditions when needs for power augmentation may not be as great.
