1. A system for enhancing power generated by a gas turbine system, the system comprising:
an inlet air chilling system; and
a wet compression air fogging system downstream of the inlet air chilling system,
wherein air entering the gas turbine system is cooled by the inlet air chilling system and the wet compression air fogging system, and
wherein the wet compression air fogging system increases a moist air mass flow rate entering the gas turbine system, and
wherein a condensate water from the inlet air chilling system is provided to the wet compression air fogging system.
