Continuous combined cycle operation power plant and method

摘要

A combined cycle power plant (100) includes a gas turbine (102), a steam turbine (110), a generator (104) coupled to the gas turbine (102) and a generator (104) coupled to the steam turbine (110), and an auxiliary boiler (140) operatively coupled to the steam turbine (110). The power plant (100) is continuously operated in a combined cycle mode during operating of the gas turbine (102) by starting the steam turbine (110) first.
