Siemens officially commissions new gas turbine burner test center
The picture shows one of the burner of a Siemens
model SGT5-4000F gas turbine. The Siemens gas turbine portfolio includes models with capacities between 5 to 400 megawatt (MW). The new test center, which was erected on a site covering 36,000 square meters, will play a key role in the development of new and the modernization of existing gas turbines. There are now several test cells available in Ludwigsfelde in which combustion processes can be analyzed and optimized under realistic conditions. In the course of these tests, various measured variables, such as output, efficiency, emission levels and flame stability are determined. The goal here is to qualify the gas turbines for new fuels so that new applications can be tapped. Siemens tests the behavior of burners and gas turbines when burning contaminated gases, low-calorific process gases such as coke oven gas and blast furnace gas, or liquid fuels such as crude oil, naphtha, heavy fuel oil and other condensates produced in the petrochemicals industry. "Our highly efficient gas turbine and combined cycle power plants are marked by their high degree of availability and flexibility and their low emissions. In our new Berlin test center we can conduct more intensive research into burner technology independently of external test facilities, which enables us to be even more innovative," stated Christopher Steinwachs, head of the business segment Large Gas Turbines within the Siemens Power and Gas Division.
