30 July 2004 - GE Energy is showcasing its comprehensive range of solutions for coal-fired power plants at Coal-Gen 2004 in Kansas this week.
Among the products being featured is the LMS100, an intercooled, 100 MW gas turbine introduced last year. Applying this machine as a boiler feedwater heat source in a coal-fired power plant can increase gas-to-electric conversion efficiency to levels as high as 55 percent for retrofitted coal plants and 61 percent for new, supercritical coal plants.
GE is a long-time supplier of steam turbine-generators for coal-fired power plants. At Coal-Gen, the company is displaying a full range of steam turbine and generator repair technologies designed to help plant owners and operators increase the performance and the productivity of their equipment.
Also featured is integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) technology, which allows the use of coal as fuel for producing power with fewer emissions compared to conventional coal-fired power plants. GE is a world leader in supplying gas turbines for IGCC plants, and recently expanded its IGCC portfolio by acquiring ChevronTexaco's gasification technology.
