The use of natural gas in combined cycle plants will result in a significant increase in power generation performance to 52-55% as opposed to 35-40% in conventional power generation plants.
Due to the ‘purity’ of the natural gas combustion products, gas could be used directly in certain industrial applications without the interference of alternators that cause energy losses. Finally, by substituting electricity with natural gas in final consumption, mainly in domestic and commercial usage, losses in converting the primary energy source into electricity and well as losses during the transmission of electricity will be avoided.
