In this context, the Combined Cycle Power Plants came as a veryattractive solution. This paper presents the results of a study regarding the use of the aeroderivativePratt & Whitney FT8-3 gas turbine, available in Romania, for the electric power generation in aCombined Cycle Power Plant. It is also analyzed the Combined Heat in Power generation with FT8-3gas turbine when saturated steam or hot water are required. %K electric power %K combined cycle %K combined heat and power %K efficiency %U http://bulletin.incas.ro/files/dan-teodor_balanescu_v3is1_full.pdf
