Gas turbine

Gas turbine generation produces very low toxic emissions of CO and HC and operates on a variety of fuels, including natural gas. The waste heat is dissipated almost entirely in the exhaust, which can then be used for boiling water in a combined cycle or for co-generation. EETS has experience in designing gas turbine generation systems that utilize natural gas.

SPOTLIGHT

Gas turbine Projects

McClellan AFB, California

SMUD – McClellan Gas Turbine

EETS worked with SMUD to provide engineering design services for the HMI and PLC-based controls upgrade, which was part of the GE Mark IV governor replacement for the 77MW unit at McClellan Air Force Base.

Sacramento, California

Proctor & Gamble Co-Generation

Proctor & Gamble, in collaboration with the Sacramento CoGeneration Authority, upgraded the capacity of three combustion turbines and one steam turbine at their Sacramento facility. Combustion turbine #1, along with the steam turbine, forms a combined cycle unit. Before the
upgrade, this system generated 164MW of electricity for the grid and provided process steam for the manufacturing facility. The existing setup included two 42.5MW gas-fired combustion turbines, two heat recovery steam generators, and a 35MW steam turbine generator in two combined cycle systems. Additionally, there was a 45MW natural gas-fired combustion turbine simple cycle peaker unit. The upgrade aimed to increase output by 22MW, improve thermal efficiency, and reduce pollutant emissions from the combustion turbines. EETS engineers were tasked with reviewing all electrical facilities and upgraded turbines, including related generator step-up transformers, to ensure all equipment ratings could handle the increased output. This comprehensive analysis covered generator step-up transformer loading and various aspects of steam turbine upgrades, including the generator, switchgear, bus duct, voltage variation, temperature, and loss of life calculations.

Campbell Soup Co-Generation

The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) and Campbell Soup enlisted EETS to collaborate on a co-generation project. This facility, replacing large boilers, features a natural gas-fired combined cycle power plant. It supplies steam to the Campbell Soup facility and nearly 150MW of electricity to SMUD.

The Siemens gas turbines generate 146MW of electricity, while recycled water from the soup plant is used to produce steam. The natural gas required for this process is supplied by the SMUD Co-Generation Natural Gas Pipeline (SMUDGAS).

Furthermore, the facility emphasizes reducing pollutants and emissions, employing a selective catalytic reducer to monitor and control nitrous oxide emissions.
