The document discusses a study of a combined steam and gas turbine power plant, specifically examining the basics and parameters that affect the efficiency of a combined cycle power plant. It provides theory on how a combined cycle plant works by capturing exhaust heat from a gas turbine to generate steam for a steam turbine, improving overall efficiency. Diagrams are included showing the T-S representation and components of a combined cycle power plant such as the heat recovery steam generator.

STUDY OF COMBINED STEAM & GAS TURBINE POWER
PLANT.
AIM:

To study of combined steam & gas turbine power plant.

OBJECTIVES:

6. Study about the basics of combined cycle power plant.


7. Study about the parameters which affect the efficiency of combined cycle power plant
THEORY:

The gas turbine plants are having characteristics of quick starting and good response
which make the gas turbine as desirable peak load and standby plant. The non availability
of cooling water will not hamper gas turbine plant while running out steam turbine plant.

The temperature of the exhaust gases of a simple gas turbine plant lies between 400 to
500˚C and contains about 16% oxygen compared with 21% in atmospheric air. A large
quantity of energy (70% of initial) is also carried away by the exhaust gases with large
quantity of oxygen without use.

An electrical utility industry has launched an effort to recover the heat energy of the
exhaust gases by coupling a steam plant with a gas turbine installation. This combined cycle
recovers much of exhaust energy by passing high temperature exhaust gases to heat
recovery boiler to generate steam which can be further used to drive a steam turbine.

Increased power and high thermal efficiency obtained from this, the concept of
combined cycle reduces the cost of the additional equipment and lowers the generating cost
if the number of operating hours per year substantially increased.

Heat Recovery Steam Generator

Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) is a boiler that utilizes heat energy of residual
exhaust gases from gas turbine unit to heat water and convert it into steam, and steam is then
used to drive steam turbines.

Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) boiler is not equipped with burners and do not
consume fuel, so there is not radiation heat transfer process.
The heat transfer process that occurs only convection and conduction from exhaust gas of gas
turbine into water to be processed into steam through heating elements inside HRSG boiler
room.

1. Explain the working of combined cycle.


2. Explain the different parameters which affect the efficiency of combined cycle.
3. Explain heat recovery steam generator (HRST)
