A combined cycle power plant has multiple thermodynamic cycles. This increases efficiency.
For example, a gas turbine can be used to produce electricity, but only about 40% of the heat is actually converted in the process. 60% of the heat is lost, and in a single cycle plant would be considered waste heat. In a combined cycle plant, that waste heat could be used to drive a second, steam turbine to produce more electricity. In such a case, the efficiency could be increased from 40% to nearly 60%.
It is possible to go further. The waste heat from the combined cycle electric plant can be used to heat buildings, for instance, increasing overall efficiency to more than 65%. This is called Cogeneration.

It scavanges oxygen in water systems to prevent corrosion of piping.
Steam driven power plants necessarily lose heat , regardless of how the power is generated (oil, nuclear, geothermal, etc.), because only about 35% to 40% of the energy in the steam can be recovered to make power. This can be improved a little bit by having a secondary system, called a combined cycle system. It can also be improved by using waste heat to heat buildings. The limit, by combining all of these, seems to be a little less than 70% efficiency.
NAPOCOR is not a power plant. It is a power company. It is the National Power Corporation of the Phillipines.
Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant was created in 2006.

The Carnot cycle gives the theoretical maximum efficiency of an engine operating between two heat reservoirs. The Carnot cycle is an idealized engine cycle that is thermodynamically reversible. Real systems such as power plants are not reversible, and the entropy of a real material changes with temperature (which is not accounted for by the Carnot cycle). A steam power plant operates closer to a cycle known as the Rankine cycle.

Power Stations have the same principle of working and that is the use of combined cycles for several heating systems. The power stations can use a gas combined cycle or a solar cycle.
In Cogeneration Plant : The generated steam in boiler is used for both power generation & process heating, thereby reducing the condenstion losses compared to thermal power plant. In combined cycle first is gas turbine , rather than wasting the flue gas from gas turbine, we are sending it into boiler and again generating steam for running steam turbine. Both the ways we are increasing the thermal efficiency of the plant

The process of operation a geothermal power plant involves moving heat up to the plant, heating water, and turning a steam turbine. This produces a renewable and clean form of electricity.
Because its is inexpensive and clean power
