The urgency of this work is determined by the intensification of the role of steam-gas technologies (combined cycle technologies) in the field of power engineering in Russia and throughout the world. Developed mathematical model of ternary combined cycle plants, which is based on balance method includes system of mass balance and energy balance equations for ternary combined cycle plants and its units, equations of steam expansion in turbine and working fluids thermodynamic properties. On the basis of a model was carried out the analysis of the impact of the structure and thermodynamic parameters on thermal effectiveness of heat-recovery ternary combined cycle plants which cycle is the combination of three working substance cycles, one of which is low-boiling substance. The analysis of the thermal effectiveness of ternary combined cycle plants was made by means of the small-deflection method. The optimal parameters of operating environment and structure of a ternary combined cycle plants were determined.
