Combined Cycle Power

Steam Turbine Control

Steam turbines can be found in almost any processing plant or power generation facility. In processing plants, steam turbines are used as the driver for other rotating equipment, converting thermal energy to rotational energy ultimately to control input speed of a driven device.

Turbine Bypass System Optimization

Combined Cycle Power Plant operators are under constant pressure to increase on-line availability. One of the most critical systems to facilitate this undertaking is the Steam Turbine Bypass System. Commonly used for startup, shutdown, and steam turbine trips, as plants are more frequently cycled, these systems are often being called-on to perform in low load and simple cycle operations

Combined Cycle Power Generation

Combined cycle power utilizes a combination of the combustion turbine (Brayton Cycle) and the steam turbine (Rankine Cycle). While the combustion turbine generator creates electricity, heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) repurpose waste heat to create steam and power a turbine. This makes combined cycle power plants far more efficient than traditional fossil-fired power plants. This combination of systems using air and water as the working fluids provides efficient, reliable and economic power.
