COMBINE CYCLE GAS TURBINE (CCGT)

<h5>A combined cycle gas turbine uses both a gas and a steam turbine together to produce up to 50 percent more electricity from the same fuel than a traditional simple-cycle plant. The waste heat from the gas turbine is routed to the nearby steam turbine, which generates extra power.</h5>
<p>Gas turbine burns fuel. The gas turbine compresses air and mixes it with fuel that is heated to a very high temperature. The hot air-fuel mixture moves through the gas turbine blades, making them spin. The fast-spinning turbine drives a generator that converts a portion of the spinning energy into electricity.</p><p>
A Heat Recovery Steam Generator captures exhaust heat from the gas. The Heat Recovery Steam Generator creates steam from the gas turbine exhaust heat and delivers it to the steam turbine. </p><p>
The steam turbine sends its energy to the generator drive shaft, where it is converted into additional electricity.</p>
