A Combined Cycle Power Plant produces electricity at high efficiencies of up to 55% and with low emissions by using both a gas turbine and a steam turbine together. It generates 68% electricity compared to a Conventional power plant which only generates 33% electricity. The steam from the boiler can also be used for heating purposes, so these power plants can operate to deliver electricity alone or electricity and heat through combined heat and power.

This type of power plant is being installed in increasing numbers round the world where there is
access to substantial quantities of natural gas.
A Combined Cycle Power Plant produces high power outputs at high efficiencies (up to 55%) and with low emissions. In a Conventional power plant we are getting 33% electricity only and remaining 67% as waste. By using combined cycle power plant we are getting 68% electricity. It is also possible to use the steam from the boiler for heating purposes so such power plants can operate to deliver electricity alone or in combined heat and power (CHP) mode.
Cogeneration or Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Is The Use of A Power (CCHP) Refers To The Simultaneous Generation of Electricity and Useful Heating and Cooling
