Power providers need to fill the gaps in power generation. Here's how flexible aero-derivative gas turbines can help. paid Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
When it comes to powering the world—even in an industry where big is often better—it always helps to have a little support.As the main players in the market concentrate on developing large-scale natural gas turbines with more generating capacity than ever, changes in the energy landscape have uncovered a newfound need for something smaller.
In mature markets like the U.S.—the largest national market for gas turbines—natural gas’ adoption is spreading. Emerging economies are also embracing the use of turbines to generate natural gas power, with Asian countries accounting for more than half of the global growth in gas demand,For industry leaders like Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, General Electric and Siemens, large-scale natural gas turbines draw much of the focus.
In fact, until battery technology allows for proper storage of renewables, these aero-derivative turbines fill another crucial gap—intermittent coverage. At times when there is too little sun or insufficient wind, operators need to avoid disruptions to the power supply and ensure continued operations. This challenge is driving energy companies to adopt a more flexible approach to power generation.
In Texas, for example, aero-derivative turbines are reducing the time and resources required to conduct high-pressure, services. Highly mobile PWPS turbine generators powered by natural gas drive the first fully electric, fully mobile well simulation system. These smaller turbines make the fracking process quieter, safer and less disruptive to nearby residents, reducing the impact on the community overall.
