Zusammenfassung:A water/steam system for a combined cycle power plant and related method for operating said system are provided. The system comprises a heat recovery steam generator providing a flue gas stream path for extracting heat from a flue gas stream exhausted from a gas turbine, the heat recovery steam generator having a low pressure section including a low pressure evaporator arranged along the flue gas stream path for generating low pressure steam at a low pressure input level for a main input of a low pressure steam turbine. To use heat at low temperatures, the low pressure section may include a sub low pressure subsection with a sub low pressure evaporator for generating sub low pressure steam, at a sub low pressure level below the low pressure input level. The sub low pressure evaporator is disposed in the flue gas stream path downstream of a low pressure economizer.
