COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT

The invention relates to a combined cycle power plant that includes, a gas turbine plant, a heat recovery steam generator heated by hot waste gases of a gas turbine plant, and a steam turbine plant driven by the steam produced, and a waste gas purification plant, arranged downstream of the heat recovery steam generator in which carbon oxides in the waste gases can be absorbed by an absorber fluid, which is subsequently regenerated at an elevated temperature in a regenerating section while giving up the carbon oxides for supplying to a storage. The regenerating section has a heater for maintaining a necessary elevated temperature for regeneration. The heater operates with steam from the heat recovery steam generator or from the steam turbine plant. The steam condenses and the resulting hot condensate can be supplied to a flash boiler where it, at low pressure, immediately at least partially evaporates. This steam can be supplied to an appropriate stage of the steam turbine plant according to the steam pressure.
