Abstract

Combined Cycle (CC) is a power plant system in which two types of turbines, namely a gas turbine and a steam turbine, are used to generate electricity. Moreover the turbines are combined in one cycle, so that the energy in the form of a heat flow or a gas flow is transferred from one of the turbines types to another. The most common type of Combined Cycle is where the exhaust gases from the gas turbine are used to provide the heat necessary to produce steam in a steam generator. The steam is then supplied to the steam turbine. However, as will be shown later, other connections between the gas turbine and the steam turbine are possible.
