| GE Power announced on the 4th that its largest and most efficient gas turbine, HA, is now more than 64% efficient in combined-cycle power plants, higher than any other power plant competition technology today.This milestone is mainly due to GE's business in additive manufacturing and Continuous innovation in combustion breakthroughs, through constant innovation, provided 62.22% of the world's most efficient combined-cycle power plant, only 18 months after GE's world record.  Joe Mastrangelo, GE Gas Systems' president and chief executive officer, said: "HA is our state-of-the-art gas turbine technology and we have never stopped exploring. GE is 64% efficient and is proud to be number one in the industry. Provide the most efficient natural gas technology in the world today. ' According to GE Power, gas turbine efficiency has been increased by one percentage point, saving millions of dollars of fuel for customers worldwide. GE's long-term investment in additive manufacturing plays an important role in the latest efficiency upgrade of HA. Stated that GE engineers developed add-on components for the 9HA combustion system and used metal 3D printing to unlock new geometries to better premix fuel and air to improve efficiency.The new combustion system has been implemented in Greens of South Carolina Weir City, GE test bench full load full speed test. 3D printing has been the key to achieving this impressive level of efficiency, which increases design flexibility, reduces costs and shortens production cycles, helping companies make such a vital business as HA Product optimization and continuous fine-tuning. As a result of these innovative breakthroughs, the net efficiency of 9HA.02 is now 64.0% under certain conditions, and the total production of the 1x1 combined cycle configuration is 826MW. In 2018, customers can order HA-based combined cycle power plants, Prices are above 64%, up from 63.7% for orders in 2017. In addition, GE Power is still expected to reach 65% efficiency by 2020, continuing HA's tradition of being the world's most advanced Class H technology. HA is a proven technology - so far more than 70 orders have been deployed to customers worldwide, and since the first HA was established in June 2016, more than 17 units have been in operation and have been operating for more than 5 Million. Among the many advantages, HA is an excellent, flexible supplement to intermittent renewable energy that can increase or decrease at 65 MW / min while still meeting emission requirements to help balance grid instability. |
