Siemens Announced the Offering of Their SGT-800 Industrial Gas Turbine

At the Power-Gen Asia trade show in Bangkok, Siemens announced it is now offering its SGT-800 industrial gas turbine with a power output of 57 megawatts (MW) and an electrical efficiency of more than 40 percent in simple cycle application. In a combined cycle configuration the power output is 163 MW at a net efficiency of more than 58.5 percent.

The SGT-800 is now available with power output from 47.5 MW to 57 MW thanks to this upgrade, which will be offered onto the market in addition to the current ratings. According to the company, this is aimed primarily at industrial power producers and oil and gas companies that have a particularly high energy demand. The 57 MW upgrade follows the design philosophy of taking small evolutionary fine tuning steps, while staying close to the commercially proven and reliable design of the SGT-800 industrial gas turbine. Only improvements of gas turbine parts using Siemens existing and mature core engine technologies have been made. The improved performance of the 57 MW rating has also been achieved through improved gear box and outlet casing/diffuser efficiencies. A reduced footprint of the gas turbine package has been achieved thanks to a shorter design, as well as a higher degree of preassembly for shorter installation time at site.
