Combined cycle power plant

A combined cycle power plant is a highly efficient energy system that generates electricity by using two types of turbines: a gas turbine and a steam turbine. First, the gas turbine burns fuel (like natural gas) to produce electricity and generates hot gases. These hot gases then spin a steam turbine by heating water into steam, which produces additional electricity. This setup captures and reuses heat from the gas turbine, making better use of fuel and reducing waste, resulting in higher efficiency and lower emissions compared to single-cycle plants.
