Simple gas-fired turbines handle ramping up and ramping down better. Combustion (Gas) Turbines: Combustion turbine plants operate on the Brayton cycle. GE Energy and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. Steam turbine power plants operate on a Rankine cycle. Typically, power plant efficiencies (LHV basis) can be taken as follows for estimation purpose,. They use a compressor to compress the inlet air upstream of a combustion chamber. (MHI) have signed final agreements to co-develop a “next generation” steam turbine for use in gas turbine combined-cycle power plants. Combined cycle are obtained by coupling a steam power plant (or sometimes a diesel engine plant) with a gas turbine installation. Then the fuel is introduced and ignited to produce a high temperature, High-pressure steam from these boilers can also generate power with steam turbines, which is called a combined cycle (steam and combustion turbine operation). Following steam turbine add-ons, both plants have commenced commercial operation in combined-cycle configuration in April 2013 – well in time to meet the peak electricity demand during the hot summer months. Combined Cycle Gas/Steam Turbine 40-45%. Combined-cycle power generation systems combine gas turbines and steam turbines to achieve very high fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions as compared to conventional thermal power plants. Simple Cycle Gas Turbine 26-28%.
