Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) facility ( 10 A) provided with a gas turbine unit ( 20 ), a heat recovery steam generator ( 30 ) for recovering heat and producing steam from exhaust gas produced by the gas turbine unit ( 20 ), and an exhaust duct ( 32 ) for guiding the exhaust gas of the gas turbine unit ( 20 ) to the heat recovery steam generator ( 30 ). At least a portion of the heat recovery steam generator ( 30 ) is disposed in the same plane as the gas turbine unit ( 20 ), and the heat recovery steam generator ( 30 ) is disposed side-by-side so that a direction in which exhaust gas flows in the heat recovery steam generator is parallel to a turbine axis direction of the gas turbine unit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1.
