«As shown in Table ES - 2, CSP plants installed in 2015 are projected to exhibit a delivered LCOE of $ 115 / MWh, 2 compared with $ 168 / MWh for the simple
cycle combustion turbine and $ 104 / MWh for combined cycle plants.
«A comparison of the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) revealed that the LCOE of $ 148 per MWh for the first CSP plants installed in 2009 is competitive with the simple
cycle combustion turbine at an LCOE of $ 168 per MWh, assuming that the temporary 30 percent Investment Tax Credit is extended.

[7] Power plant efficiency can also be greatly improved by using «combined heat and power» systems that use waste heat from the
combustion process for space heating or industrial applications, [8] or by using a «combined
cycle» that uses the waste heat to power a steam
turbine and make more electricity.
That project would include the closure of DEP's existing 379 MW Asheville 1 and 2 coal units and construction of about 752 MW of natural gas - fired generation (two 280 MW combined
cycle units proposed to commence operations in 2019 and an optional 192 MW
combustion turbine unit proposed to commence operations in 2023).
The NRDC cites the «2016 State of the Market» report by PJM, the largest grid operator in North America, as showing that «new entrant natural gas - fired combined
cycle plants,
combustion turbine plants, and solar are economical, but that new coal and nuclear plants are not.»

Requires the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to: (1) promulgate performance standards (limiting emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and mercury) for new boilers, integrated gasification combined
cycle plants, and
combustion turbines; and (2) conduct a comprehensive research and environmental assessment program to enhance understanding of health and environmental effects of particulate matter and mercury and to demonstrate the efficacy of emission reductions under this Act.
Because gas
combustion turbines require no cooling (having no steam to condense), the overall combined
cycle system requires much less water for cooling than traditional steam
turbine technologies.
But what does the increasing role of energy storage as peaker replacement mean for investments in new
combustion turbine, or even combined
cycle plants, and gas pipelines?
Combined
cycle: An electric generating technology in which electricity is produced from otherwise lost waste heat exiting from one or more gas (
combustion)
turbines.
