A method involved operating a combined-cycle power plant (10), which has a gas turbine (11) with a compressor (12) and a turbine (13), a heat recovery steam generator (17) which is connected downstream to the gas turbine (11) and is for producing steam in a water/steam cycle, and also at least one o
A method involved operating a combined-cycle power plant (10), which has a gas turbine (11) with a compressor (12) and a turbine (13), a heat recovery steam generator (17) which is connected downstream to the gas turbine (11) and is for producing steam in a water/steam cycle, and also at least one once-through cooler (21), through which flows compressed air which is compressed in the compressor (12) and intended for cooling the gas turbine (11), and, cooling down, converts feed-water (24) which is fed from the heat recovery steam generator (17) into steam, and discharges the steam to the heat recovery steam generator (17). Making the operation more flexible is achieved, without lowering the load of the gas turbine (11), by the combined-cycle power plant (10) being switched between a first operating mode, in which only the gas turbine cycle is used for power generation, and a second operating mode, in which the gas turbine cycle and the water/steam cycle are used for power generation.

1. A method for operating a combined-cycle power plant, the plant including a gas turbine with a compressor and a turbine, a heat recovery steam generator connected downstream to the gas turbine and configured and arranged to produce steam in a water/steam cycle, and at least one once-through cooler
1. A method for operating a combined-cycle power plant, the plant including a gas turbine with a compressor and a turbine, a heat recovery steam generator connected downstream to the gas turbine and configured and arranged to produce steam in a water/steam cycle, and at least one once-through cooler through which flows compressed air when compressed in the compressor and for cooling the gas turbine, and, converts feed water supplied from the heat recovery steam generator into steam, and discharges the steam to the heat recovery steam generator, the method comprising: switching the combined-cycle power plant between a single-cycle operating mode, in which only a gas turbine cycle is used for power generation, and a combined-cycle operating mode, in which the gas turbine cycle and the water/steam cycle are used for power generation, without lowering the load of the gas turbine;wherein switching to the single-cycle operating mode comprises diverting hot exhaust gases from the gas turbine away from the heat recovery steam generator into a secondary exhaust stack, and simultaneously reducing the discharge of steam from the once-through cooler to the heat recovery steam generator and discharging excess steam from the once-through cooler; andwherein switching to the combined-cycle operating mode comprises directing hot exhaust gases from the gas turbine to the heat recovery steam generator, and simultaneously increasing the discharge of steam from the once-through cooler to the heat recovery steam generator and reducing the discharge of excess steam from the once-through cooler. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plant includes a deflection flap arranged in an exhaust gas duct which leads from the gas turbine to the heat recovery steam generator, and wherein diverting away hot exhaust gases further comprises operating the deflection flap. 3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein discharging excess steam comprises discharging into the secondary exhaust stack. 4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein discharging excess steam comprises admixing said excess steam with the compressed air which is guided through the once-through cooler. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein discharging excess steam comprises feeding said excess steam to an air-cooled condenser to minimize the loss of demineralized water. 6. A method for operating a combined-cycle power plant, the plant including a gas turbine with a compressor and a turbine, a heat recovery steam generator connected downstream to the gas turbine and configured and arranged to produce steam in a water/steam cycle, and at least one once-through cooler through which flows compressed air when compressed in the compressor and for cooling the gas turbine, and, converts feed water supplied from the heat recovery steam generator into steam, and discharges the steam to the heat recovery steam generator, the method comprising: switching the combined-cycle power plant between a single-cycle operating mode, in which only a gas turbine cycle is used for power generation, and a combined-cycle operating mode, in which the gas turbine cycle and the water/steam cycle are used for power generation, without lowering the load of the gas turbine;wherein switching to the single-cycle operating mode comprises diverting hot exhaust gases from the gas turbine away from the heat recovery steam generator into a secondary exhaust stack, and simultaneously reducing a feed of feed-water from the heat recovery steam generator and substituting feed-water from another source of feed water; andwherein switching to the combined-cycle operating mode comprises directing hot exhaust gases from the gas turbine to the heat recovery steam generator, and simultaneously reducing the feed of feed-water from said another source of feed water and substituting feed-water from the heat recovery steam generator; andwherein said another source of feed-water comprises a separate single-cycle feed-water system. 7. The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein simultaneously reducing a feed of feed-water comprises admixing cold water with the feed water with a separate cold water mixing line. 8. The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein simultaneously reducing the feed of feed water comprises reducing the feed of feed-water from the heat recovery steam generator by a control valve arranged in a feed-water bypass line, after the supplying of the once-through cooler with feed water has been switched to the feed-water bypass line; or wherein simultaneously reducing the feed of feed-water comprises switching the supplying of the once-through cooler with feed water to the feed-water bypass line, after reducing the feed of feed-water from the heat recovery steam generator by a control valve arranged in a feed-water bypass line.
