Abstract

A gas turbine power plant and a method for operating a gas turbine power plant are provided. The power plant includes a gas turbine installation which may supply a mains supply network with electric power and includes a compressor and an associated first gas turbine. Differing from previous gas turbine installations, the compressor of the gas turbine installation and the first gas turbine of the gas turbine installation are decoupled from each other. A second turbine is provided which drives compressor. As a result, the compressor of the gas turbine installation is operated independently of the first gas turbine. Influences on the mains supply network side, such as generating deficiencies in the main supply network, which act upon the first gas turbine as a result of speed reduction, are also not able to have an impact upon the compressor which is decoupled from the first gas turbine.
