Basics
- Any engines that use two or more types of heat engine to produce the one output
- This can be done to
- Allow for variable fuel/energy sources (Natural Gas and/or Solar Thermal (Integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC)) )
- Allows for increased efficiency (An ICE with a Turboexpander on it's exhaust stream and a Stirling Engine for vehicles is a good example)
- Not to be confused with Cogeneration
Notes on Naming Scheme
- This page may need a better name (ie one without "engines" in the title), as TEGs don't make mechanical power, but electrical, so that may be confusing to some
- Although they are Heat Engines i think, so this really gets into Terminology Hell
- As of now the abbreviation would be "CCE"
- For powerplant applications it is often called "Combined Cycle Power Plant" (CCPP), and has specialty abbreviations ("CCGT" for Combined Cycle Gas Turbine etc)
- Combined Cycle Energy Generators (CCEG) (Could be pronounced C-Keg) may work?)
Internal Links
- Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle
- High Temperature Fuel Cell Combined Cycle
