The challenge
Inefficiency and lower oil prices lead to overcapacity of an existing gas turbine
With two oversized Gas Turbine main engines of 4.3 MW in total power each and the evident consequences of lower oil prices, our customer’s offshore platform power was highly inefficient.
One of the existing gas turbines had a considerably low efficiency of just 14%. With low oil prices also impacting activity levels, the platform was unable to use all of the 4.3 MW that was generated. The overcapacity was increasingly costly and with our customer facing considerable cost pressures, they needed a temporary solution fast.
