For peaking duty or fast-track project execution, gas turbine based simple cycle plants are an ideal solution. Both industrial and aero-derivative type gas turbines are widely applied, with the latest generation aero-derivative gas turbines offering efficiencies above 40%. Where appropriate, Metlen designs simple cycle plants to facilitate future conversion to combined cycle.
Metlen has successfully carried out several projects to provide fast-track simple cycle power generation capacity, with particular experience with aero-derivative type gas turbines.
