GT replacement transforms ageing assets into high performance power plants
Life extension of ageing gas-turbine-based power plants can be achieved cost-effectively by replacing the gas turbine — the core driver of performance and determinant of plant life — with a modern, efficient, and future-ready machine that elevates plant efficiency above original design, ensures compliance with today’s emission and operational standards, and, depending on fit, may improve plant capacity. With targeted upgrades to the HRSG, steam turbine, and balance-of-plant systems, operators can transform existing assets into flexible, reliable, and hydrogen-ready plants capable of meeting the demands of future energy systems.
