Popis: A combined cycle power plant produces power and steam which the steam is used to generate additional power. The main source of the power and steam was the fuel entering the gas turbine. Hence the power and the steam being produced are related to the temperature inlet of the gas turbine. This study is to investigate the performance and economic effect of with and without using turbine inlet air cooling at the combined cycle power plant. The techno-economic formulations were used for evaluating the performance and the cost rates. Results indicate that with using of turbine inlet air cooling, the performance of gas turbine increased while the performance of steam turbine decreased. However, the power output of the power plant in Malaysia climate is increased due to contributed by performance of aero-derivative gas turbine. The results also demonstrate that the used of turbine inlet air cooling in combined cycle power plant is more profitable due to higher Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return compared to without turbine inlet air cooling.
