A steam turbine with short start-up times and variable start-up modes to ensure grid stability
Siemens Energy Steam Turbines of the SST-5000 series are operated in combined cycle power plants (CCPP) and in steam power plants (SPP).
The SST-5000 steam turbine combined with a gas turbine, is able to achieve a net plant efficiency of more than 64 percent in combined cycle applications.
•Efficiency: CCPP – 61.5% (CCPP)
SPP – 43% for subcritical variant, 45% for supercritical variant
•Frequency 50 or 60 Hz
•Main steam conditions:
CCPP – Inlet pressure up to 177 bar / up to 2,567 psi
