Degradation Effects On Comined Cycle Power Plant Performance by wolf_ns is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This paper presents an investigation of the degradation effects that gas and steam turbine cycles components have on combined cycle power plant performance. Areas examined were gas turbine compressor and turbine degradation, HRSG degradation, steam turbine degradation, condenser degradation, and increased gas turbine back pressure due to HRSG degradation. The rapid improvement of gas turbine technology in the 1990s drove combined cycle thermal efficiency to nearly 60% with natural gas as a fuel.
