Combined Cycle Power Generation topics include: Binary vapour cycles, coupled cycles and gas turbine steam power plant.
A combined cycle power plant (CCPP) uses both a gas turbine and a steam turbine to generate electricity. CCPPs can produce up to 50% more electricity from the same fuel than a traditional simple-cycle plant.
CCPPs are becoming more popular in the electric utilities market and can offer up to 60% efficiency.
The components of a CCPP include: Gas turbines (GT) Steam turbines (ST) Heat recovery steam generators (HRSG)
The exhaust heat from the gas turbine is used to generate steam, which is then run through a steam turbine to provide supplemental electricity.
