Case Study
A European power generation major wanted to upgrade the existing fleet with a new Heavy duty class capacity and capability milestone using a new Hot Gas Path design.
The primary requirement was to increase efficiency at the high-power output and flexibility.
Key Challenges
- New combustion technologies to handle fuel alternatives aiming to reduce carbon emissions
- Higher firing temperatures, lower emissions and increased operational with fuel flexibility
- Product needed to be developed and deployed in a record time of under one year to meet client requirements
