The research aims at boosting efficiency without putting much strain on blades and vanes, considering the fact that temperature of modern turbine stage inlet exceed melting points of the turbine blade materials. As the natural gas turbine market perceives consolidation, R&D initiatives will gain more emphasis among manufacturers. As noted in November announcement of Siemens, natural gas turbine producers possess the capability to manufacture 400 large units with capacity of over 100 MW.

However, current demand is nearly 110 large units annually, which in turn will intensify the competition in the market for natural gas turbines. Despite low demand, opportunities prevail for advancements in natural gas turbine technology on several levels ranging from technology & rating capacity to design & application. This has further rubbed off on R&D activities in the natural gas turbine market.

Proliferation of Aero-Derivative Technology to Fuel Upgrades in Natural Gas Turbine Efficiency

Over the years, design engineers have transferred aircraft engine technology to the ground-based units, also called aero-derivative technology, which implies a leap ahead in power production. The technology has further deemed as a key for the generation of combined heat and power (CHP).

The aero-derivative units have currently become essential for balancing integration of the variable power sources, including wind and solar, into the electricity grid. With aero-derivative paving new market possibilities, advancements in turbines for natural gas-fired power production are fuelling efficiency upgrades at a rapid pace. Several upgrades have been introduced over the past few years from leading manufacturers such as GE Power, Siemens, Ansaldo Energia, and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS).

GE Power has launched its largest gas turbine (9HA), which is currently available at a 64% net efficiency in December, 2017. The company claims its new innovation to be the most advanced and efficient natural gas turbine technology till date.

Natural Gas Turbine Market: Growing Emphasis on Reduced Emissions

A key challenge backing up the intermittent power generation with gas is significant increase in emissions, which is attributed to several factors such as high level of NOx and Co emissions by operating gas turbine at low loads. Rapid changes in the turbine output are linked with disruption of equilibrium between the selective catalytic reduction and fuel.

Additional pilot fuel needed during the load alterations further results into increased NOx emissions. Moreover, maintaining accurate ammonia injection level in SCR is more challenges when the turbine load is changing. In a bid to curtail emission challenges, fast ignition turbine technology, imperative for combined cycle plants to initiate & ramp, while responding to grid fluctuations, is a key attribute of R&D efforts currently.

Major turbine manufacturers such as Siemens have recently introduced a fast-starting plant technology, which is designed to address emission-related problems. A prime example of such technology is Siemens Flex-Plant employed at Lodi Energy Center, California. Improvements in design of heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) enable fast start up of such plants, and eliminate low load holds, thereby reducing emissions.
