Abstract
This chapter focuses on waste-to-energy (WTE) and gas turbine (GT) integrated configurations concerning one-pressure-level heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The thermodynamic and parametric analysis of steam/waterside-integrated WTE–GT power plant has been carried out, first of all, with the aim to investigate the logic governing plants and that it should match in terms of steam production as a function of the thermal power generated. Steam generation, optimum plant match condition, inlet and outlet conditions of heat exchangers, etc., as a consequence of system integration are analyzed and explained. A sensitivity analysis, varying with evaporative pressure and HRSG inlet conditions, has also been presented to investigate the influence of operative parameters on steam mass flow rate.

Notes
- 1.
If an ECO section was placed into the WTE boiler, point D will show an increase in steam mass flow rate, due to a lower temperature water entering the WTE boiler, causing a further reduction of T O, WTE.
