Abstract:
A combined cycle power plant that includes a gas turbine engine, a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), a steam turbine, a primary condenser, a condensate extraction pump, a gland steam condenser, and a cooling module. The HRSG generates steam. The steam turbine receives steam from the HRSG. The primary condenser is fluidly coupled to the steam turbine and receives a first portion of exhaust steam from the steam turbine. The condensate extraction pump is fluidly coupled to the primary condenser and receives a condensed first portion of exhaust steam. The gland steam condenser is fluidly coupled to the steam turbine and receives a second portion of exhaust steam from the steam turbine. The cooling module is fluidly coupled to the gland steam condenser and supplies a cooling fluid to the gland steam condenser. The cooling module is fluidly isolated from the condensate extraction pump.
