A '''topping cycle''' is a system which produces power and then uses waste heat or exhaust in an alternative way.

For example, a [[boiler]] produces [[steam]] to power a [[turbine]]-[[generator]] to produce [[electricity]]. The steam leaving the turbine is used in thermal applications such as [[space heating]] and/or cooling or delivered to other end user(s).
