Zusammenfassung:A combined cycle power plant and method for operating a combined power plant with stack energy control are presented. The combined cycle power plant includes a gas turbine, a heat recovery steam generator including a plurality of heating surfaces, and a steam turbine. The heating surfaces may be partially bypassed to reduce steam production in the heat recovery steam generator during power plant startup. Less energy may be extracted from exhaust gas of the gas turbine. More energy may be dumped through an exhaust stack. The steam turbine may start without restriction of a gas turbine load during power plant startup. The steam turbine may start without increasing a size of an air cooled condenser while maintaining a higher load of a gas turbine during power plant startup.
