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.
Air-based CCGT systems have demonstrated very high availability and reliability. [6] The most notable helium-based system thus far was Oberhausen 2, a 50 megawatt cogeneration plant that operated from 1975 to 1987 in Germany. [7] Compared to Europe where the technology was originally developed, CCGT is not well known in the US. [8]
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.
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)
Teesside Power Station is a former gas-fired power station, in Redcar & Cleveland, England.Situated near the Wilton chemical complex, the station had combined cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) and open cycle gas turbines (OCGTs), however in 2011 the operation of the CCGT part of the station was suspended, and in 2013 the owners announced its closure and plans to demolish it.
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 station is currently Uniper's largest CCGT power station. As Connah's Quay is a CCGT power station, it runs on natural gas. The plant has four 330 MW modules - hence four chimneys. Each module has a General Electric Frame 9FA gas turbine, a Stein Industrie heat recovery steam generator and a steam turbine; in a single-shaft layout.
