Sentences with phrase «simple cycle gas turbines»

Simple cycle gas turbine plants (dashed line) required similar prices to gas - fired thermal plants until 1985 - 90, when improving turbine efficiency reduced fuel and lowered required prices.

* increase simple cycle gas turbine net power by > 70 % * increase single gas turbine efficiency from ~ 42 % to ~ 52 % * reduce emissions from 25 ppm to < 1 ppm for both NOx and CO without catalysts * improve ROI.

Not exact matches

By comparison, today's simple cycle power plants (gas turbine generator only) operate with efficiencies ranging between 33 and 44 percent depending on the size and model.

The Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) M7A is a single - shaft, simple - cycle, axial - flow, high - efficiency gas turbine engine in the 5.5 to 7.4 MW class.

Worse, these would need to be inefficient simple - cycle gas turbines (due to the need to be able to ramp up and down within minutes if the wind changes) meaning that the CO2 emissions reductions compared to using gas alone (using more efficient combined - cycle gas turbines) are negligible.
