Combined Cycle power plants are those which have both gas and steam turbines supplying power to the network. Combined cycle power plants employ more than one thermodynamic cycle – Rankine (steam) and Brayton (gas). In a combined cycle power plant, a gas turbine generator generates electricity and the waste heat is used to make steam to generate additional electricity through a steam turbine, which enhances the efficiency of electricity generation. Additionally, combined cycles are characterized by flexibility, quick part-load starting, suitability for both base-load and cyclic operation, and a high efficiency over a wide range of loads.
Combined Cycle Power Plant assets need to be flexible to meet rapidly fluctuating demand levels. As well, they need to remain reliable and demonstrate that every effort has been made to minimize environmental impacts and maximize efficiency. Ensuring flexible, reliable operation with minimum forced outages, implementing innovative strategies that reduce emissions and dealing with volatile power markets while achieving the lowest operating costs possible are the new industry reality.
