Abstract:
1. A combined cycle power plant comprising: a. a gas turbine, wherein the gas turbine includes a first compressor, at downstream of the first compressor, mad a turbine downstream of the combustor; b. a second compressor downstream of the first compressor; c. a regenerative heat exchanger between the first and second compressors; d. a steam generator downstream of the turbine, wherein the steam generator receives exhaust from the turbine; e. a steam turbine downstream of the steam generator; f. a condenser downstream of the steam turbine and upstream of the steam generator; and g. a first condensate pump between the condenser and the steam generator, wherein the first condensate pump directly supplies condensate to the regenerative heat exchanger and the steam generator, wherein the condensate from the heat exchanger directly supplies to the steam generator.
