The early history of combined power plants is described, together with the birth of the CCGT plant (the combined "cycle" gas turbine). Sustained CCGT development in the 1970s and 1980s, based on sound thermodynamic considerations, is outlined. Finally more recent developments and future prospects for the combined gas turbine/steam
A combined cycle power plant (CCPP) is a type of power plant that combines a gas turbine and a steam turbine to generate electricity. The gas turbine is used to generate electricity directly, and the exhaust gases from the gas turbine are used to generate steam in a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The produced steam is then used to drive
Combined cycle technology allows a power plant to generate 50 percent more electricity from its fuel than it could with a single-cycle power system. Here''s how it works: In a two-on-one combined cycle system, two combustion turbine generators work in conjunction with two heat-recovery steam generators and a steam turbine generator.

A combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant uses the exhaust heat from gas turbines to generate steam with a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The produced steam is then fed to a steam turbine to provide additional power, either running a generator or as a mechanical drive. The overall efficiency of an offshore CCGT is approximately 50%.

The power station has a total of 10 generation units: two 25 MW boiler steam units, six 20 MW gas turbines, one 115 MW gas turbine, and one 165 MW combined cycle unit. As of 2018, both 25 MW units and two 20 MW units were decommissioned after the commissioning of the combined cycle unit. The old units are now used as peak-load units.
It attained far greater energy efficiency than conventional thermal power plants. In 1999, a combined cycle power plant incorporating the G-series gas turbine was constructed and delivered for the No. 4 Series for the same power station. The thermal efficiency of the plant exceeded 50%.
Duke Energy''s new Citrus Combined Cycle Station started generating cleaner-burning, highly efficient energy in two phases. The first 820-megawatt power block started running Oct. 26, 2018, and the second 820-megawatt power block came online Nov. 24, 2018. Duke Energy broke ground on the new facility in March 2016 and held a ceremonial grand
