For us to truly understand what a Combine Cycle Power Plant is we must learn

what its purpose. Energy production is one of the most important aspect a power plant
can do, A Combine cycle power plant with a combination of both Gas Turbine and
Steam Turbine is considered to be one the most efficient type of Power plant when it
comes to energy production. According to Karimi Z.L (2018), Some countries like
Singapore produce more than 96% of their electric power from CCGT plants. Since the
power demand varies frequently, a CCGT (Combine Cycle Gas Turbine) plant often
runs in part-load conditions, where its power output is lower than its design capacity.
For instance, a gas turbine power plant in Nigeria produced only 64.3% of its nameplate
capacity from 2001 to 2010. But this is all possible because of its parts and components
such as:

Combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) design: 

 Air Compressor 
A modern air compressor is usually equipped with variable inlet guide vanes
(IGVs) to regulate its airflow
 Combustion Chamber
The heat addition and flow friction cause a pressure drop in the combustion
chamber. 
 Gas Turbine 
The turbine usually has multiple stages. We assume it to always operate at the
choking condition, which is characterized by a constant swallowing capacity
 GT blade cooling
As the turbine blade rows are exposed to the hot flue gas, cooling air is supplied
to prevent overheating and maintain lifetime.
 Heat recovery steam generator (HRSG)
The HRSG is modeled as a series of heat exchangers.
 Steam turbine (ST)
ST is modeled as a series of sections. A typical ST has three sections [HP (High
Pressure), IP (Intermediate Pressure) and LP (Low Pressure)]. A section-by-section
method is commonly used for its simulation.
 Water pumps
A water pump supplies feed water to a steam circuit ([HP (High Pressure), IP
(Intermediate Pressure) and LP (Low Pressure)]
 Generator
The generator efficiency varies with its load and can be obtained from an
efficiency curve

And due to modernization that is happening all around the globe, some
technological advancement can be found on CCGT power plant for example. According
to Araner Groups and Companies, there is always room for improvement in both the
efficiency and the energy that a power plant can produce, Turbine Inlet Air Cooling or
TIAC can help Since a gas turbine breathes a lot of air, its efficiency is affected by
anything that alters the quality (mass flow or density) of the air that goes to the
compressor. Standard ambient conditions for a gas turbine are 15˚C temperature and
1.013 bar pressure. Changes to these weather conditions are the most obvious
changes and challenges that most power plants face. TIAC can help a combined cycle
power plant located in a hot region to perform optimally throughout the year. Which can
help to fully maximize its sole purpose which is to generate electricity in a more efficient
way.
And this is just some of the reason that makes a Combined Cycle Power Plant if
not one of the best source of energy as of the present, and for the upcoming chapters
the researchers will talk about all of the specific parts, components, how it works, the
maintenance that need to accomplish in every machine, the perfect land to place a
Combined Cycle Power Plant, and even the costing for it to work properly in a more
detailed way.
