Gas Fired Power
How electricity generated, components, steps involved
Simple cycle gas-turbine (OpenCGT)
Pros: Cheap, start quickly
Cons: inefficient, low productivity
market fit: countries with
capacity market
UK is part of it
hot gas drives a gas turbine to generate electricity
Combined cycle gas-turbine (CCGT)
two gas-turbines supporting one steam turbine
Pros: can achieve efficiencies slightly over 60%, dispatch times of around half an hour(?). use the heat for the other source
Cons:
Reciprocating engine
used for emergency power
balance variable renewable energy such as wind and solar
what?
thermal power (fossil fuel) which burns natural gas to generate electricity
can provide seasonal dispatchable generation to balance variable renewable energy
