Combined-cycle steam turbo alternator circuit

This steam circuit turbo alternator diagram explains the steam side of a combined-cycle power plant. Natural gas powers a gas turbine generator, whose hot exhaust feeds a triple-pressure heat recovery steam generator. The HRSG produces main steam at 100 bar and 565 C for an HP-IP-LP steam turbine connected to its own alternator and grid transformer.

O que há neste desenho

Entenda as decisões por trás dele.

01Heat recovery

Gas-turbine exhaust raises steam in a triple-pressure HRSG.

02Steam expansion

HP, IP, and LP stages extract work before condensation.

03Separate generators

Both turbine trains connect to the grid through their own transformers.

04Feedwater return

Recovered condensate re-enters the HRSG through the economizer.

Use this for a high-level combined-cycle plant overview where the heat-recovery steam cycle and both electrical trains need to be clear. It is suitable for training or plant documentation.

Perguntas frequentes

Dúvidas comuns

What is an HRSG?

A heat recovery steam generator uses gas-turbine exhaust heat to generate steam.

Why are there two alternators?

The gas turbine and steam turbine each drive their own electrical generator.

What does triple-pressure mean?

The HRSG has multiple pressure levels to recover exhaust heat more efficiently.
