A combined cycle power plant is an assembly of heat engines that work in tandem from the same source of heat, converting it into mechanical energy. On land, when used to make electricity the most common type is called a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant, which is a kind of gas-fired power plant.
Seven CCGT units were built in Switzerland and Germany by 1978. [2] Historically, CCGTs found most use as external combustion engines "with fuels such as bituminous coal , brown coal and blast furnace gas " but were superseded by open cycle gas turbines using cleaner-burning fuels (e.g. " gas or light oil "), especially in highly efficient ...
CCGT may refer to: Combined cycle gas turbine, a type of combined cycle power plant commonly used for high efficiency, fast responding electricity generators Closed-cycle gas turbine (but combined cycle, see above, is the more common usage for gas turbines)
The new CCGT was a major upgrade to the power station and provided a new base-load generating capacity to meet rising power demand in Ireland. [8] With a capacity of 435 MW the new CCGT brought the total capacity of the power plant from 528 MW to 963 MW. The CCGT generates enough power to meet the electricity needs of around 450,000 homes.

Marchwood Power Station is next to Southampton Water on Marchwood Industrial Estate. [1] It is a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power station. [1] The plant uses compressed air and gas to power one turbine and then uses exhaust gases from that process to boil water and power a steam turbine. [2] The power station generates 898.1MW of ...
The Huntly Power Station is the largest thermal power station in New Zealand and is located in the town of Huntly in the Waikato. It is operated by Genesis Energy Limited , a publicly listed company (currently 51% owned by the NZ Government). [ 1 ]
Site of the former BP Baglan Bay plant. The power station was built on the site of the former Isopropanol BP chemicals plant in September 2003, costing £300 million. At the time of its development, it was considered the most advanced CCGT facility of its kind with close to 60% efficiency.
The power station consists of three identical units with an electrical power output of 1,212.6 MW. Each of these units is including a 65 metres (213 ft) high flue gas stack. It was built and equipped by Siemens. Each of the units has an efficiency of 57%. The power station is connected via a 380 kV double-circuit powerline with Gauss substation.
