Aeroderivative Gas Turbine
Ground-based power generation equipment converted from an aircraft engine core, sharing the high-pressure compressor, combustor and turbine design. Unit output is typically 20-60 MW; it offers fast startup and a small footprint, making it suitable for peak shaving and distributed power supply.
Timeline (last 90 days)
An aeroderivative gas turbine is ground power generation equipment converted from an aircraft engine; its core engine shares the high-pressure compressor, combustor and turbine design with the aviation version, but the low-pressure section is replaced with a power turbine to drive a generator.
The per-unit power of aeroderivative gas turbines typically falls in the 20-60MW range, and they are light in weight, small in size, and have a startup time that can be compressed to under 10 minutes, making them suitable for peak shaving and distributed power supply.
The drawbacks of aeroderivative gas turbines are slightly lower fuel efficiency, shorter overhaul intervals, and greater sensitivity to fuel quality (such as natural gas purity).
