Waste-to-Energy and Gas Turbine: Hybrid Combined Cycle Concept

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the hybrid combined cycle (HCC) concept. The HCC, based on thermal integration between a topper cycle (TC) and a bottomer cycle (BC), denotes specifically “dual-fuel” combined power cycles. The possibility to use different fuels for the TC and BC is one of the advantages of the HCC. This chapter describes in detail two basic types of hybrid dual-fuel combined cycle (CC) arrangements applied to waste-to-energy (WTE) power plants using as TC a gas turbine (GT), a steam/waterside-integrated HCC, and windbox repowering.
