Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT)

A Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) is a highly efficient power generation system that combines two types of turbines to generate electricity. It starts with a gas turbine that burns natural gas to produce electricity. The hot exhaust gases from this turbine are then used to produce steam, which drives a steam turbine to generate additional electricity. This process maximizes energy use from fuel and reduces waste, making CCGTs more efficient and environmentally friendly compared to traditional single-cycle plants. Overall, CCGT plants can produce large amounts of electricity with lower emissions and operating costs.
