Abstract
A combined cycle electric power generating plant having a steam generator and a gas turbine in which low Btu gas from a coal gasifier is the fuel. The gas turbine drives the compressors for both the air and low Btu gas used to generate the hot combustion gases therein. In addition, the oxygen-containing exhaust gases from the gas turbine are used to support combustion of the fuel in the steam generator.
