Pennsylvania to have 1,050 MW combined cycle plant

Generadora San Felipe's natural gas combined-cycle power station will feature GE Vernova’s gas and steam turbines coupled to generators, a condenser, and more.

Jeremee Wetherby, GE Vernova’s Carbon Solutions Leader, said reintroducing part of the exhaust flow back into the gas turbine inlet reduces a carbon-capture plant’s cost and footprint.

The Golden Triangle Polymers project will receive three main compressor packages for its ethane cracker operation, auxiliary equipment, three steam turbines, and four centrifugal compressors.

The planned 515-MW power plant project will increase Ghana’s thermal generation capacity by over 7%.

When deciding to refurbish or renew, gas turbine plant owners have to weigh engineering and economic factors, including the turbine’s footprint.
