Patent abstract
A power plant with an industrial gas turbine engine or a steam turbine to drives an electric generator to generate electric power. The compressor of the IGT or the condenser of the steam turbine is connected to a heat exchanger to cool the compressor inlet air or the steam passing through the condenser. The heat exchanger is located in or near an open source of water that has naturally cold water at a certain depth, and cold water is pumped from the open source and through the heat exchanger to pre-cool the air. The pre-cooled air passing through the heat exchanger will cool the compressor inlet air or cool the steam in the condenser to increase the efficiency of the IGT or steam turbine.
