Natural gas combined cycle (NGCC)

NGCC is an advanced power generation technology which allows to improve the fuel efficiency of natural gas. Most new gas power plants in North America and Europe are of this type.

A gas turbine generator generates electricity and the waste heat is used to make steam to generate additional electricity via a steam turbine
