Abstract :
This paper outlines a few methods or options for generating steam efficiently in cogeneration plants when using conventional steam generators (boilers) and gas turbine heat recovery steam generators (HRSGS). By understanding the performance characteristics of these systems and operating them at their most efficient loads, steam can be generated at low cost. Suggestions are also made to improve the efficiency of existing HRSGS
