Innovation is in the air.
With the introduction of Clean-Ramp™ technology, Siemens
delivers air emissions compliance while load following.

Solar…wind. With the increase in
renewable energy sources, supply is
continually fluctuating and power
plants are ramping more than ever.
The challenge? Maintaining low average
emissions when your plant is frequently
ramping. The solution? Siemens
Flex-Plant with innovative CleanRamp technology.
The most advanced technology of
its kind, Clean-Ramp integrates the
operation of the combined cycle to
maintain low NOx and CO out of the
stacks while ramping. So you can ramp
more frequently and more quickly with
less environmental impact. That’s what
we call “doing more with less.”
Flex-Plant™ 30
In addition, the gas turbine in the
Flex-Plant 30 can be quickly synchronized
and then ramped to base load in about
20 minutes with stack emissions levels
being achieved in 10 additional minutes,
compared to 90 minutes for the traditional combined cycle plant. The result
is faster, more efficient dispatch power,
which can significantly reduce start-up
emissions and start-up fuel costs,
potentially increasing generationbased revenue.
Utilizing proven fast-start technology in
a three-pressure reheat application, the
Flex-Plant 30 can achieve full load in
about half the time required by traditional combined cycle plants, while
retaining its high 57 percent plus net
efficiency. A proven SPPA™-T3000 integrated plant control package has been
optimized to reduce warm-up hold times
and further reduce steam turbine start-up
times to 30-35 minutes.
With the Flex-Plant 30, fast synchronization and 10-minute megawatts is a
reality, making this solution ideal for
your portfolio.

Clean-Ramp™
Siemens Clean-Ramp technology enables
the Flex-Plant 30 to stay in emissions
compliance, while load following renewables. This unique, patent pending
feature integrates the control of the gas
turbine and SCR to enable low total plant
emissions out of the stack, while ramping
up or down. Now, in addition to starting
and moving fast, the Flex-Plant 30 is
clean and flexible all day, every day.
At Siemens, integration of the combined
cycle is key, and Clean-Ramp technology
is the next step in our evolution of ecofriendly integrated power generation.
