Co-gen is when you have a steam host. Combined cycle is the brayton and rankine cycles. The brayton cycle is about 35% effecient and the rankine cycle takes that to around 60% using the waste heat through the HRSG (Heat Recovery Steam Generator).

Ah, thanks. Gas Turbine spins the generator and then a boiler gets a 2nd pass at spinning the generator.
