Experiences With Gas Turbines in French Power Stations

Several gas turbines are in operation in power stations of the author’s company. Most of them were designed for production of peak-load energy and were rated at 6000-kw power output. The paper describes some of these plants and presents the methods chosen for the solution of the problems of burning heavy fuel oils and of remote control both for usual gas turbines and for free-piston gasifiers.Copyright © 1960 by ASME
