The performance of gas turbine generators has close correlation with environment temperature. The higher the temperature is, the lower the output is. Therefore, the generating power and efficiency of gas turbines can be improved by lowering the temperature of inlet air. Presents a method to lower the temperature of inlet air and increase output of gas turbine generators by ice storage technology. Gives  simulation analyses of a single circle gas turbine power plant with capacity of 42 MW.
