A Simple-Cycle Combustion Turbine (SCCT) is a type of gas turbine typically used in the power generation, aviation (jet engine), and oil and gas industries (for electricity generation and mechanical drives). The simple-cycle combustion turbine follows the Brayton Cycle and differs from a combined cycle operation in that it has only one power cycle (i.e. no provision for waste heat recovery).
