What is a gas turbine Siemens?

Siemens heavy-duty gas turbines are robust and flexible engines, designed for large simple or combined cycle power plants. They are suitable for peak, intermediate, or base load duty, as well as for cogeneration applications. Customers benefit from our extensive validation and testing capabilities.

Does Siemens make generators?

Siemens Energy generators are the perfect solution wherever power has to be generated quickly, reliably and efficiently – whether on board of a ship or on an oil platform, in an industrial plant, a large gas or steam power plant or for renewables. In addition, we provide wind generators from 0.25 to 10 MW.

What is gas turbine generator?

A gas turbine is a combustion engine at the heart of a power plant that can convert natural gas or other liquid fuels to mechanical energy. This energy then drives a generator that produces the electrical energy that moves along power lines to homes and businesses.

Is gas engine Same with gas turbine?

Compared to the gas engines, gas turbines have a significantly lower concentration of air pollutants (CO₂, NOx, SOx, particulates) in their emissions. Engines consume less fuel and emit a lower volume of gas but produce a higher concentration of pollutants.

What is gas generator efficiency?

Natural gas, diesel, and bi-fuel generators have proven performance and reliability. Natural gas generators can meet the :10 startup time required for emergency power systems. The overall efficiency (HHV/kWe) of diesel generators is 15% – 25% higher than natural gas.

What is MW generator?

A megawatt (MW) is one million watts and a kilowatt (kW) is one thousand watts. Both terms are commonly used in the power business when describing generation or load consumption. The power system must be designed to serve the peak load, in this example 10,000 MW.

Why choose a Siemens generator?
