Components of the Combined Cycle Power Plant.

1) Gas turbine
- The gas turbine uses natural gas or various other fuels, such as No. 2 diesel or kerosene
compresses air and mixes it with fuel that is heated to a very high temperature. The hot air-fuel
mixture moves through the gas turbine blades, making them spin.
- The fast-spinning turbine drives a generator that converts a portion of the spinning energy into
electricity.

2) Compressor
-  draws air into the engine, pressurizes it, and feeds it to the combustion chamber at speeds of
hundreds of miles per hour. The combustion system, typically made up of a ring of fuel injectors
that inject a steady stream of fuel into combustion chambers where it mixes with the air.

3) Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG)

- removes heat from the hot exhaust of the gas turbine to turn water into superheated steam. This
is done by directing the hot exhaust across finned tubes filled with water.
- This water absorbs the heat and turns into saturated steam. The steam rises up to the drum, and
the moisture in the saturated steam is removed by mechanical separators; it is then sent through
piping to another set of finned tubes to superheat it. This superheated steam is sent to the steam
turbine.
-The hot exhaust from the gas turbine exits the “hersig” through an exhaust stack to atmosphere.

4) Steam turbine
- The steam turbine receives superheated steam from the “hersig” in order to turn the steam
turbine rotor, which is connected to a generator to make electricity. The superheated steam is
directed to the steam turbine from the “hersig” by steam piping.
- After the superheated steam is used to operate the steam turbine, it is exhausted into the
condenser.

5) Generator
- The spinning of the gas and steam turbine drives the generator rudder to spin and coverting
mechanical energy into electrical energy.

6) Condenser
- receive steam that has been exhausted from the steam turbine and condense it back to water. This
is performed by running cooling water through tubes in the condenser, which absorbs heat from
the exhausted steam in order to turn it back to water. This water is then pumped from the
condenser to either a deaerator or the low-pressure steam drum by the condensate pumps.

7) Cooling Tower
- Cooling towers are a special type of heat exchanger that allows water and air to come in contact
with each other to lower the temperature of the hot water.
- During this process, small volumes of water evaporate, lowering the temperature of the water
that's being circulated throughout the cooling tower.

8) Bus Duct
- the main conduit for power distribution in a power generation facility that gets from the
generator to the power grid

9) Transformer
-  trades voltage for current in a circuit, while not affecting the total electrical power. This means it
takes high-voltage electricity with a small current and changes it into low-voltage electricity with
a large current, or vice versa.

10) Power Grid

- Generate the electricity current from the power plant to houses, premises, etc.
