Robust overall design, rotor stiffness and excellent combustion stability (due to two external combustion chambers), make the Ansaldo Energia AE94.2 the right choice when fuel diversification and/or fast transient phases are required. AE94.2 turbines offer fast start capability, extreme operation simplicity and superior fuel flexibility (2 minutes gas-to-oil and oil-to-gas fuel switchover). They can be profitably used in simple or Combined Cycle, for base or peak load, when grid conditions are severe and in areas where power generation is based on alternative fuels. The special AE94.2K version is specifically designed for burning low- and very low-BTU gases from steel mill or refinery processes. The AE94.2s fleet is characterized by more than 25 years of successful operation and up to 10 million EOH, with an excellent record of robustness, operational flexibility and durability. Fast and Flexible The AE94.2 gas turbine is a benchmark for both operational and fuel flexibility. Its high cycling capability, combined with fast start up and high ramp rates, makes it suitable for peak plants, grid support and dead power grid energization as well. Fuel diversification For normal operation it is possible to use up to 40% of hydrogen in fuel gas blends, but the AE94.2 can burn also non conventional fuels (i.e. naphtha, crude and heavy fuel oil, hydrogen rich fuels, coal gases) as well liquid green fuels such as HVO, Methanol and Ethanol. Its special “version K”, specifically designed for low and very low BTU fuels, can manage a very wide range of syngas, well gases, coal gases.
