combined cycle generation

    0.04 sec.

combined cycle generation

System of electricity generation that makes use of both a gas turbine and a steam turbine. Combined cycle plants are more efficient than conventional generating plants.

In combined cycle generation, the gas turbine is powered by burning gas fuel, and turns an electric generator. The exhaust gases are then used to heat water to produce steam. The steam powers a steam turbine attached to an electric generator, producing additional electricity.
