A combined cycle is characteristic of a power producing engine or plant that employs more than one thermodynamic cycle. Heat engines are only able to use a portion of the energy their fuel generates (usually less than 30%). The remaining heat from combustion is generally wasted. Combining two or more “cycles” such as the Brayton cycle and Rankine cycle results in improved overall effi ciency. In a combined cycle power plant (CCPP), or combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant, a gas turbine generator generates electricity and the waste heat is used to make steam to generate additional electricity via a steam turbine; this last step enhances the effi ciency of electricity generation.

Several experts were predicting the end of the cycle of prosperity based on the exploitation of raw materials, especially minerals. Peru has beenaffected by this situation highlighting once again that the current primary export model does not provide a sustainable development in the long term. In this context of a slowdown in our economy, we believe that the industrialization of our resources is the most advantageous alternative to be undertaken by the country. In this respect, the present work is a contribution of ideas to promote a change of the industrial model should have the Peru, for which, in the analysis has taken into account various documents and related entities recognized these issues.
