Manufacturers of gas turbine units in the EU and Asia Part 1.

     In the modern world, gas turbine units are becoming more and more widely used in various industries. They can run on fossil fuels, which allows them to be used in stationary and transport applications, such as thermal power plants, marine vessels and rail transport.

     Every day the share of small-scale energy installations with a cogeneration cycle* is increasing, which allows optimizing the production of heat and electricity in social and industrial infrastructure to ensure effective energy saving. For example, in the UK the share of cogeneration in small-scale power generation reaches 80%, in the Netherlands – 70%, in Germany – 50%. This process is actively supported by the state both through legislative regulation and through budget financing.

     The basis for the economic efficiency of gas turbine cogeneration power plants is their high electrical and thermal efficiency, achieved through the basic mode of their operation on thermal consumption (heating, hot water supply, heat supply for production needs).

     Gas turbine units (GTUs) have received recognition in the energy sector as fully developed, reliable equipment. The performance indicators of gas turbine units in power plants are at the same level as traditional power equipment. They are characterized by readiness for operation within 90% of the calendar time, a 2 – 3 year repair cycle, and a failure-free start-up rate of 95 – 97%. Low specific weight, compactness, ease of transportation and ease of installation are some of the main advantages of gas turbine units, the most attractive from the point of view of their use. The advantages of gas turbines also include short construction times, increased reliability of heat and power supply to consumers, minimal volumes of harmful emissions into the environment, reduced inertia of thermal regulation and losses in heating networks, relative to networks connected to large distribution systems and thermal power plants.
