Siemens Combined Cycle Power Plant (SCC™)
Designed for lowest life cycle cost
Combined Cycle process schematic
In a combined cycle power plant the hot exhaust gas of a gas or oil fired gas turbine is utilized to generate steam in a separate water / steam cycle. The hot steam is expanded in a steam turbine providing power to drive a generator. The combination of gas and steam turbine cycles allows electric power generation with highest efficiency.
In a multi shaft arrangement (as shown in the picture) both, the gas turbine and the steam turbine, each are connected to a generator. In a single shaft arrangement gas turbine and steam turbine drive the same generator to produce electricity.
