2. Gas-fired power plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-fired_power_plant

   In a simple cycle gas-turbine, also known as open-cycle gas-turbine (OCGT) generators, hot gas drives a gas turbine to generate electricity. This type of plant is relatively cheap to build and can start very quickly, but due to its lower efficiency is at most only run for a few hours a day as a peaking power plant. [8]

3. Power plant efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_plant_efficiency

   To express the efficiency of a generator or power plant as a percentage, invert the value if dimensionless notation or same unit are used. For example: A heat rate value of 5 gives an efficiency factor of 20%. A heat rate value of 2 kWh/kWh gives an efficiency factor of 50%. A heat rate value of 4 MJ/MJ gives an efficiency factor of 25%.

4. Combined cycle power plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_cycle_power_plant

   Gas turbines burn mainly natural gas and light oil. Crude oil, residual, and some distillates contain corrosive components and as such require fuel treatment equipment. In addition, ash deposits from these fuels result in gas turbine deratings of up to 15%. They may still be economically attractive fuels however, particularly in combined-cycle ...

5. Cogeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogeneration

   The fuel used is typically natural gas. Gas engine CHP plants use a reciprocating gas engine, which is generally more competitive than a gas turbine up to about 5 MW. The gaseous fuel used is normally natural gas. These plants are generally manufactured as fully packaged units that can be installed within a plantroom or external plant compound ...

7. Thermal power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_power_station

   Natural gas is frequently burned in gas turbines as well as boilers. The waste heat from a gas turbine, in the form of hot exhaust gas, can be used to raise steam by passing this gas through a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The steam is then used to drive a steam turbine in a combined cycle plant that improves overall efficiency. Power ...
