Abstract
A combined cycle power generation system () includes a steam turbine (), a combustion system () including a compressor (), a combustion chamber (), a gas turbine (), and a HRSG () to generate steam with energy from the combustion turbine. A flow line () passes superheated steam into the combustion chamber. In an associated method a first source of power is provided via a combustion process having a variable reaction temperature in a first turbine. A second source of power is provided via a second turbine. Components of the system are placed in a mode of increasing power output with steam generated from the HRSG, during which a portion of the steam is provided into a combustion chamber associated with operation of the second turbine.
