Combined - Cycle Gas & Steam Turbine Power Plants Henrik Nielsen, Judy Warner, Rolf Bachmann, Rolf Kehlhofer

The company previously supplied 40 7EA gas turbines for the PP10 site. The new plant will employ Siemens H-class combined cycle gas and steam turbine technology and will be designed as a single-shaft plant with gas turbine, generator and steam turbine all arranged on a single shaft. The majority of power plants in use today use Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) technology, so-called because a gas turbine is used to produce electricity in combination with a bottoming water-steam cycle. The formal opening of the plant comes as international players jockey to produce the most efficient gas turbines and combined-cycle natural gas power plants possible. Of existing CHP capacity, half are powered by combined cycle, with the next most common system including a boiler/steam turbine. On Wednesday, Siemens opened a new 450,000-unit gas turbine production facility in Charlotte, N.C., next to its existing steam turbine generator plant. GE is to provide ten of its SC series steam turbines specifically for the PP10 combined cycle expansion. Integrated Solar Combined Cycle (ISCC) technology aims to draw the environmental benefits of solar energy together with the operational advantages of a 'conventional' gas turbine-steam turbine combined cycle plant. To eliminating forty 1,000 megawatt coal power plants, the DOE said. Earlier this year, General Electric announced a new 510-megawatt combined-cycle power plant that claims fuel efficiency of up to 61 percent. Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC): Trend of the Future by Oil & Gas IQ - Power plants have various attributes and architecture, both based on the nature of work for which they have been erected.
