Energy Sector 1 Gas Turbine as Prime Mover Prime mover : A machine that transforms energy from thermal, electrical or pressure form to mechanical form; typically an engine or turbine. Gas Turbines vary in power output from just a few kW more than 400,000 kW. The shaft output can be used to generate electricity from an alternator or provide mechanical drive for pumps and compressors. Page 3 Copyright © Siemens AG 2009. All rights reserved.

Energy Sector 6 Design Drivers : Low Specific Fuel Consumption Higher Pressure Ratios • Increased Cycle Efficiency • Increased number of compressor / turbine stages and therefore cost Complex Cycles • Increased Cycle Efficiency and/or Specific Power • Can impact operability, cost and reliability Higher Firing Temperature • Requires increased sophistication of cooling systems • Can impact life and reliability and combustor emissions Page 13 Nov 2010 Copyright © Siemens AG 2009. All rights reserved. Energy Sector Design Drivers : Availabilty, Cost and Emissions High reliability. Moderates the trend to increase firing temperature and cycle complexity. Low Emissions (Driven by environmental legislation) More difficult to achieve with high firing temperatures and combustion pressures Lowest possible cost. Encourages smallest possible frame size, i.e. high specific power high firing temperature. Reduced Pressure ratios (< 20:1) to avoid auxiliary fuel compression costs Compromise is required in the concept design to get the best balance of parameters Page 14 Nov 2010 Copyright © Siemens AG 2009.
