Gas Turbine Technologies for the Transition
About 60 GW of coal-fired generation in the U.S. will be retired by 2020 and about 35 GW of nuclear capacity will be retired by 2025, according to recent projections by Black & Veatch. Much of that capacity will be replaced with power produced by low-cost, cleaner-burning natural gas. This article reviews the installation of Siemens new FlexPlant technology at the El Segundo Energy Center in California and GE’s new H-class turbines at the Riviera Beach Energy Center in Florida.

Quickly Boost Your Combustion Turbine Response
PowerPhase LLC has developed a new technology called TurboPHASE, a fast-responding, modular “turbocharger,” that can boost the capacity of an existing simple cycle or combined cycle plant by 10% or more in seconds. The system consists of a compressor that delivers hot compressed air to the discharge section of a combustion turbine, thereby allowing it to operate at the rated capacity irrespective of ambient air temperatures. Morris Cogeneration, a combined cycle cogeneration plant near Chicago, installed TurboPHASE, to boost capacity when needed during cold weather events.

Arvah B Hopkins: Combined-cycle repowering reduces fuel cost, decreases emissions
The City of Tallahassee plans to repower a 230MW oil-fired steam generator to combined cycle by adding two F-class gas turbines and heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) in a 2+2+1 configuration. Phase 1 was completed in 2008 and involved the first of the gas turbines. This article discusses the equipment and controls used for the project.
