Product type
A combined cycle turbine is a type of power generation system that utilizes both gas and steam turbines to generate electricity more efficiently. The system works by first using a gas turbine to convert natural gas into electricity, and then capturing the waste heat from this process to produce steam that drives a steam turbine. This dual process significantly enhances overall efficiency compared to traditional single-cycle power plants.
| Efficiency | Up to 60% in optimal conditions |
| Output capacity | Typically ranges from 100 MW to over 500 MW |
| Fuel type | Natural gas, with options for dual-fuel capability |
| Heat recovery steam generator | Integral to the system for capturing waste heat |
| Emissions | Lower CO2 emissions compared to conventional plants |
When selecting a combined cycle turbine, consider the desired output capacity and efficiency ratings. It's important to specify the fuel type, as many systems are designed for natural gas but may offer dual-fuel options. Additionally, inquire about the heat recovery steam generator specifications, as this can impact overall performance. Certifications related to emissions standards may also be relevant depending on the location of installation.
