In a method for operating a combined cycle power plant (15) with at least two power plant units (16A, . . . , 16D), each of which includes a water/steam cycle, an accelerated start-up is achieved in a simple manner by removing a heat-transporting fluid from another operating power plant unit and usi

In a method for operating a combined cycle power plant (15) with at least two power plant units (16A, . . . , 16D), each of which includes a water/steam cycle, an accelerated start-up is achieved in a simple manner by removing a heat-transporting fluid from another operating power plant unit and using it for the preheating and/or maintaining of the heat of individual components of the water/steam cycle in one of the power plant units (16A, . . . , 16D).
