Aeroderivative technology: A more efficient use of gas turbine technology

Today's power industry has had many recent challenges that have changed the way a 'business is done'. Examples of such challenges include grid systems that are looking to retire older less efficient generation, as well as the addition of renewables that further challenge the characteristics of the grid. These changes are impacting the thermal generation in terms of what is needed to support the grid. Technology innovation is a key driver to meeting these key industry issues. Aeroderivative gas turbines currently play a key role in providing necessary flexible generation and are a major component to many operators' power generating portfolios.
