Combined-cycle power plants ( Fig. 2.3) are compound gas turbine–steam turbine systems wherein the extreme hot exhaust from a gas turbine is employed to run a boiler, and the steam thus produced is fed into a steam turbine to generate power. These plants can deliver high power output at efficiencies as high as 50%–60% with low emissions and
Read MoreA steam boiler is a power generation device, used for generating steam by applying the heat energy to water. The pressure range of earlier boilers ranges from low pressure to medium pressure (7 kPa to 2000 kPa/ 1psi to 290 psi). The present boilers are more useful because it works with high pressure than old ones.
