- In order to improve the performance of the combined cycle, much effort has been spent over the past decade on increasing gas turbine performance. As a contrast to this, the present work focuses on possibilities for combined cycle performance enhancement through present and expected future steam cycle and boiler technology. The use of various heat recovery steam generators, (single and dual pressure) with or without supplementary firing are studied, in combination with steam turbine admission temperatures of up till 973 K. Supplementary firing is applied either in the entire gas turbine exhaust duct or in part of it, in a so-called split-stream boiler (SSB). Furthermore, the flashing of pressurized water from an overdimensional economiser in the SSB, to produce steam for gas turbine vane cooling is studied. Many of the supplementary fired cycles studied are found to have a thermal efficiency superior of the unfired cycles, based on the same gas turbines. Hence, available steam technology and expected future development mean that most of the cycles studied are realistic concepts that merit further attention in the quest for more efficient power production.
