combined cycle (power) plant

Déf. :
Centrale électrique comprenant un générateur à turbine à gaz dont les gaz d'échappement alimentent une chaudière utilisant les rejets thermiques (cette dernière pouvant être pourvue ou non de brûleurs supplémentaires) et la vapeur produite dans la chaudière entraîne un turbo-générateur.

Note(s) :
Il peut y avoir des variantes du cycle de base et le gaz pour la chambre de combustion de la turbine à gaz peut être produit dans une installation de gazéification de charbon.
On peut citer d'autres combinaisons synergétiques de cycle de production d'électricité : par exemple, la production diesel-vapeur, mercure-vapeur, métal liquide-vapeur, magnétohydrodynamique-vapeur, gaz-fluide organique, vapeur-fluide organique.

Design and Operation Experience of Combined Cycle Plant Using Gas Turbine with Turbine Inlet Temperature of 1 350 degrees centigrade
- No.5 Unit of Himeji No.1 Power Station of The Kansai Electric Power Co. Inc. -

With the remarkable improvements in gas turbine technology, many combined cycle power plants have been constructed both in domestic utilities and overseas. Against this back ground, and in pursuit of further improvements in plant efficiency, which is the greatest merit of the combined cycle power plant, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. has constructed a multi-shaft, reheat type 670 MW combined cycle power plant as No. 5 Unit at the Himeji No. 1 Power Station of The Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. The gas turbines used for this plant are the 501 F type which are the latest, high efficiency, large capacity machines having a turbine inlet temperature of 1 350 degrees centigrade. In April 1995, the plant started commercial operation and has provided excellent performance together with high reliability.
