To provide a hybrid power generation system including a gas turbine engine system and a supercritical rankine cycle system.
A first compressor 18 of the gas turbine engine system 12 is configured to compress an inlet airflow 30 to produce a first outlet airflow 32 at a first pressure. An intercooler 34 is configured to cool the first outlet airflow 32 exiting the first compressor 18 to produce a second outlet airflow 36. A second compressor 20 is configured to compress the second outlet airflow 36 exiting the intercooler 34 to produce a third outlet airflow 38 at a second pressure. The supercritical rankine cycle system 14 is coupled to the intercooler 34 to circulate a working fluid in heat exchange relationship with the first outlet airflow 32 to heat the working fluid at a supercritical pressure and to cool the first outlet airflow 32 exiting the first compressor 18.
