Abstract
In a method of operating a combined-cycle plant, which essentially comprises a gas-turbine group, a waste-heat steam generator (14) and a steam cycle equipped with a steam turbine (17), the gas-turbine group being operated according to sequential combustion (4, 9), at least one steam quantity (50) proportioned by a control (C) is extracted at a suitable point in terms of pressure in order to increase the operational output of the steam turbine (17). This steam quantity (50) is then fed to the gas-turbine group at a suitable point in such a way that, to maintain the output thus induced, at least the metering (D, E) of a fuel quantity (5, 10) at at least one combustion chamber (4, 9) is influenced.
