Simple cycle gas turbines provide efficiency levels of around 35% to 40%. Combined cycle units boost efficiency to 60% and beyond. But another option is emerging that combines the attributes of ...

Figure 18.1 illustrates a simple-cycle gas turbine. Ambient air enters the compressor of the gas turbine. The pressure increase across the compressor is from 12- to 45-fold. The temperature also ...

Phase I is a barge-mounted, simple-cycle gas turbine system, constructed at Trinity Marine Group's Beaumont, Texas yard and delivered to the project site May 10 less than six months from contract ...

Mill Creek 5 was approved last year by the Kentucky regulators as part of the utilities’ generation investment plan.

They are subject to fewer environmental restrictions than other prime movers. Figure 10.1 illustrates a simple cycle gas turbine. The compressor raises the pressure of inlet air 15 to 25 times. The ...
