A combined cycle power plant uses a combination of a gas turbine and a steam turbine, connected by a heat recovery steam generator, to generator electricity. The units are most typically fueled by natural gas and are very efficient. With large quantities of natural gas available in the US, combined cycle power plants are expected to be a major component in utility generation fleets for many years.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the components of a combined-cycle power plant.
- Explain the purpose of a heat recovery steam generator.
- Describe how natural gas is classified.
- Identify the locations of major natural gas reserves.
- Compare the heat rates of different types of gas-fired power plants.
- Describe the different types of combined-cycle power plants.
- Explain environmental issues associated with combined-cycle power plants.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 25 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
