Decarbonization and Sustainability Modernization & Upgrade Solutions

Focus Area: Efficiency Mod Solution

A customer in Malaysia was exploring ways  to reduce the carbon footprint of their SGT-A35 units and help meet their decarbonization goals. Siemens Energy (SE) worked closely with the customer to evaluate the site-specific benefits and options quickly, and the resulting solution will achieve up to 2% in CO2 reduction (the equivalent of running at 6% H2 blend), 8% power increase and 2% fuel savings.

Focus Area: Operational Flexibility

A power generation customer was exploring ways to modernize their old fleet of 3 GE frame DRV-631 BFP turbines with very limited changes to site assets and configuration. They also wanted to achieve more power and gain more operational flexibility in terms of quicker starts and reduction in operating cost. The resulting custom-designed modification solution resulted in a 10% power increase, up to 30% CO2 reduction, faster turbine starts and extended lifecycle.

Focus Area: Electrification & Heat/Steam to Power

An oil and gas customer in Serbia was exploring compressor train options to: significantly improve operational flexibility, availability and reliability; e operating costs; increase steam savings; and prepare the asset for improved remote operation capability. The solution included driver electrification, controls upgrade and changes to process and  electrical connections, resulting in up to a 100% reduction in CO2, low maintenance costs and higher efficiency at part load.

Focus Area: Digital Services

An Italian customer operating an SGT-300 in a CHP application at a military airport in Italy was unable to restart a gas turbine following maintenance. Siemens Energy was able to diagnose that the hydraulic start system (Hydrostart) had failed and would need replacing. The parts were shipped and Remote Support technology was used to assist the local team in changing out and recommissioning the Hydrostart system, resulting in improved sustainability  by reducing CO2 footprint and equipment downtime.
