The customer operated an SST-400 steam turbine commissioned in 2005 for the purpose of power generation. As usual for power generation, the steam turbine drives a generator, and the exhaust steam is transferred to the condenser to reach maximum efficiency and power output.
Due to higher profit, the customer became more interested in steam extraction for district heating. Thus, the customer considered a turbine revamp with the goal of extracting the maximum heating steam out of the turbine. In 2018, the customer approached Siemens Energy and asked for a proposal to achieve the new operating conditions.
