A heating and cooling system (100) for inlet air of a turbine compressor (20). The heating and cooling system (100) may include a fluid coil (120) positioned about the turbine compressor (20) and a thermal energy storage tank (170). The fluid coil (110) and the thermal energy storage tank (170) are in fluid communication such that fluid is both provided to the fluid coil (110) from the thermal energy storage tank (170) for exchanging heat with the inlet air and returned to the thermal energy storage tank (170) without further heat exchange.
