Abstract :
Rye House power station near Hoddesdon in Hertfordshire, the second of PowerGen´s combined-cycle gas turbine plants built by Siemens, was officially opened in April 1994. This article takes a brief look at this increasingly important power generating technology and its application at Rye House. The authors discuss many of the technical aspects of Rye House. These include fuel supplies, heat recovery, steam turboset, steam condensing system, generation system, electrical system, power station control, thermal performance and environmental considerations. Project management aspects are also discussed.<>
