Gas micro-turbine AE-T100

for power generationfor thermal power plantsCHP

AE-T100 microturbines can reach 90% efficiency, and are available in three different versions: - externally-fired (AE-T100E); - biogas-fueled (AE-T100B); - and natural gas-fueled (AE-T100NG). Modular installation allows to cover a wide range of different power needs, with each module delivering 100 kWel of electrical power and approximately 200 kWth of thermal power. The advanced power electronics system converts the high-frequency electricity generated into either AC or DC power at the specified frequency. The AE-T100 rotor system is composed by a high-speed generator, a compressor and turbine wheels – all on the same shaft, which is the only rotating part in the engine. Continuous fuel combustion (as opposite to the intermittent combustion of a piston engine) reduces pollutants emission with no need for an expensive and complex post-combustion treatment. The technical simplicity of the system contributes to its ease of installation, high reliability and low maintenance requirements.
