Combined cycle power plants are one of the most promising and flexible approaches to conventional, fossil-fuel and biomass-fired energy production. The combination of a gas turbine and a steam turbine working in tandem to produce power makes this type of plant highly efficient, and it can also be fuel-flexiblewhen combined with gasification technology. This book provides a comprehensive and systematic review of the design, engineering and operational issues of arange of advanced combined cycle power plants. INDICE: Combined cycle power plants; Advanced industrial gas turbines for power generation; Natural gas-fired combined cycle (NGCC) systems; Integrated gasification combined cycle systems; Novel cycles: Humid air cycle systems; Novel cycles: oxy-combustion turbine cycle systems; Pressurized fluidized bed combustion (PFBC) combined cycle systems; Externally fired combined cycle systems; Hybrid fuel cell gas turbine combined cycle systems; Integrated solar combined cycle systems; Techno-economic analysis of combined cycle systems.
