Gas Turbine Power Plant
Is power generating station that use gas as fuel source and gas turbine as
the prime mover for converting energy in electrical
Advantage of the gas turbine power plant
- It is simple in design as compared to steam power station since no boilers and their auxiliaries are required.
- It is much smaller in size as compared to steam power station of the same capacity. This is
- Expected since gas turbine power plant does not require boiler, feed water arrangement etc.
- The initial and operating costs are much lower than that of equivalent steam power station.
- It requires comparatively less water as no condenser is used.
- The maintenance charges are quite small.
- Gas turbines are much simpler in construction and operation than steam turbines.
- It can be started quickly form cold conditions.
- There are no standby losses. However, in a steam power station, these losses occur because boiler is kept in operation even when the steam turbine is supplying
