Abstract

CCGT (Combined-cycle gas turbines) are gaining an increasingly important role in power generation thanks to their high thermal efficiency, low installed cost and ready availability. Increasing natural gas prices, the optimization of CCGT operating parameters is becoming a topic of growing interest.
