| Combined cycle gas turbine - turbines,
that are typically fuelled by natural gas, are used to drive
generators to produce electricity. The exhaust gases are then
passed through a boiler to produce steam that in turn drives
an additional turbine coupled to a generator. |
| Combined heat and power project. |
| The simultaneous generation of heat and
electricity, typically where the need for both arises for industrial
or commercial purposes. |

| Kilowatt; a kilowatt is a unit of power,
representing the rate at which energy is used or produced (ie,
the product of voltage and current). |
| Kilowatt-hour; one kWh represents one
hour of electricity consumption at a constant rate of 1 kW. |
| Megawatt; one MW equals 1,000 kilowatts. |
