What Does CCGT Stand For?
CCGT stands for Closed Cycle Gas Turbine
CCGT, or Closed Cycle Gas Turbine, refers to a type of power generation system that utilizes a closed-loop cycle to convert thermal energy into mechanical work. This technology operates by compressing gas, heating it using an external heat source, and then expanding it through a turbine to generate electricity. CCGT systems are known for their high efficiency and lower emissions compared to traditional open cycle gas turbines, as they recirculate the working fluid in a closed system, minimizing environmental impact while maximizing energy output.
