GHV is the energy released from the combustion of fuel followed by returning all products of combustion back to the starting temperature. Additional energy is released from the condensation of water vapor thus the GHV is higher than the net heating value (or lower heating value). GHV is equivalent to the higher heating vaue (HHV).
