Abstract
A combined cycle power plant (CCPP) is provided. The CCPP includes a gas turbine that has a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section. The CCPP further includes a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) that has a first economizer. The HRSG receives a flow of exhaust gas from the turbine section. The HRSG further includes a fuel heating system that has a fuel supply line and a high temperature heat exchanger disposed in thermal communication on the fuel supply line. The fuel supply line is fluidly coupled to the combustion section. The high temperature heat exchanger is fluidly coupled to the first economizer such that the high temperature heat exchanger receives water from the first economizer. The CCPP further includes a feedwater pump that is fluidly coupled to the high temperature heat exchanger.
