GAS TURBINES: Open-market DLN-1 system anchors quick CC-to-GT peaker conversion

7EA Users Group, Frame 6 / By

Ingenuity is never in short supply in the gas turbine (GT) industry, but some projects do amplify the wow factor more than others. Case in point: A Texas plant where a 1987-vintage, 2×1 7EA combined cycle (CC) cogeneration plant was converted into a peaking facility serving the lucrative ERCOT market. Collaboration among several non-OEM services […]
