Gas-and-Steam Combined-Cycle Power Plant

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to power plants. Various embodiments thereof may include a method for operating a gas-and-steam combined-cycle power plant. For example, some embodiments may include a method for operating a gas-and-steam combined-cycle power plant including: providing exhaust gas from a gas turbine to a steam generator; generating steam by means of the exhaust gas; driving a generator with the steam via a turbine installation to provide an electric current; removing the exhaust gas from the steam generator; and using at least a portion of heat contained in the exhaust gas downstream from the steam generator to affect an endothermic chemical reaction.
