A CCGT power plant consists of one or more gas turbine generators. Gas turbines burn gas with compressed air, creating a combustion gas that turns the turbines and creates electricity. The heat created in this process is also used to make steam to generate additional electricity via a steam turbine, making the power generation process more efficient.
