Abstract
In a high-efficiency power generating method to generate electric power by an exhaust gas re-combustion system using at least a gas turbine, a boiler, and a steam turbine, crude oil or heavy oil is heated with steam obtained from the boiler; the crude oil or heavy oil is distilled under reduced pressure; and electric power is generated by using an obtained light oil fraction as a gas turbine fuel and by using a heavy oil fraction as a boiler fuel.
