Combined cycle definition

Combined cycle means the integrated operation of one or more combustion turbines and steam turbines for the production of electricity using the same source of thermal energy.
Combined cycle means a portion of the natural gas introduced into the new turbine is converted to electricity by the gas turbine while the rest is used as heat to generate steam which is then also used to produce electricity.
