What Does CCGT Stand For?
CCGT stands for Combined Cycle Gas Turbine
CCGT, or Combined Cycle Gas Turbine, is a highly efficient power generation technology that utilizes both gas and steam turbines to generate electricity. In this system, natural gas is combusted to drive a gas turbine, while the waste heat produced from this process is captured and used to produce steam, which in turn powers a steam turbine. This combined cycle approach significantly increases energy efficiency and reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional single-cycle power generation methods. CCGT plants are widely used in modern energy production for their ability to provide flexible and reliable electricity while minimizing environmental impact.
