During the last decades, there has been significant investment in combined-cycle plants, in Spain and Portugal. These plants use both gas and steam turbines together to produce up to 50 percent more electricity from the same fuel than a traditional simple-cycle plant. The waste heat from gas turbines is routed to the nearby steam turbine, which generates extra power.
As the world’s largest supplier of gas turbines, GE chooses the most reliable partners to guarantee the operations’ safety and quality, and EQS has been one of these, providing Safety Supervision and Quality Control during complex and very demanding shutdowns.
