Abstract

A new design of a combined-cycle gas turbine power plant CCGT with sequential combustion that increases efficiency and power output in relation to conventional CCGT plants is studied. The innovative proposal consists fundamentally in using all the power of the steam turbine to turbocharge the gas turbine. A computer program has been developed to carry out calculations and to evaluate performance over a wide range of operating conditions. The obtained results are compared with those of combined cycles where the gas turbines are not turbocharged and the gas and the steam turbines have independent power exits; the advantages of the new design are stated.
