Abstract: The part-load behaviour of combined cycle power plants (CCPP) equipped with post-combustion CO2 capture is analyzed. Different CCPP configurations are compared, including single-, dual- or triple-pressure level steam generators. The gas turbine is a single shaft unit using the variable guide vanes and fuel flow to control the load. The 90% CO2 capture is achieved using monoethanolamine (MEA 30%wt) as absorbent.
