That’s why almost nothing gets built as open-cycle any more except peakers, where a five-minute start beats efficiency. The other half of the story is compressor back-work — it eats something like half the turbine’s gross output, which is why simple-cycle numbers look so bad next to steam plants on paper. Unrelated to the post, but since the form asks for a site: browser games that load instantly.

On the structure section, the piece that trips people up most is why transmission steps up to extra-high voltage before stepping back down, and it’s worth stating the I²R reason explicitly rather than leaving it implied. Aside for anyone studying from scanned lecture notes: pulling the text out of a scanned PDF so it becomes searchable makes revision far less painful — https://ihatepdf.org/pdf_to_text does it client-side, no upload.

Without that sentence readers come away thinking gas turbines are simply worse than steam, which isn’t the conclusion. I’d also add a line on the back-work ratio — the fact that so much of the turbine’s output goes straight back to driving the compressor is the underlying reason the simple-cycle number is low. Unrelated: for the schematic variants in my own notes I generate them in batches rather than redrawing, the setup I use is written up.
