Solar Turbines POWERING THE GLOBAL ENERGY DEMAND

Advantages for Gas Turbines • Extensive experience has shown that gas turbines enjoy a significant availability advantage over competing technologies. And when you need maintenance, Solar offers an engine exchange program, which can limit overhaul downtime to as little as 48 hours. • Independent studies have shown that maintenance costs are lower for our gas turbines compared with alternative technologies. • Gas turbines are smaller and lighter for comparable power output compared to other power generation technology. • Noise from gas turbines, being confined primarily to higher frequency ranges,...

Capabilities Solar gas turbine power generation packages are skid mounted and come with the following standard features: • Industrial grade three-phase induction generator, both 50 Hz and 60 Hz • Epicyclic gearbox between turbine and generator • PLC-based Turbotronic™ control system to monitor both turbine and generator operations • Lube oil system for turbine and generator, including lube oil cooler • Turbine air filtration system • Electric start system • Operator and maintenance personnel training Optional Features: • Outdoor weather-resistant, sound attenuated enclosure with fire detection/suppression...

Sustainable Power Long before the introduction of worldwide agreements regarding climate change or the appearance of utility portfolio standards specifying the use of renewable fuels, a small and diverse industrial sector began to put biogas fuels such as landfill, digester gas and synthetic gases to use producing heat and electric power. Starting as far back as 1981, Solar Turbines initiated our support of these pioneers, committing research and development resources and modifying our turbines to burn these low-energy fuels cleanly and efficiently. That commitment has continued through the years...
