combined-cycle

I have to call you on this one, because you talk about steam turbines but refer to a paper on combined-cycle powerplants (gas turbine with the exhaust heat making steam for a steam turbine).

Energy Minister Wannarat Charnnukul said Thailand will instead build three 800-megawatt combined-cycle power plants to offset the deferral of the nuclear plants under the country's long-term energy development plan.

"Typical thermal efficiency for electrical generators in the industry is around 33% for coal and oil-fired plants, and up to 50% for combined-cycle gas-fired plants."

MR. MORRIS: In the United States it's clear that coal is going to bow to combined-cycle natural gas when you look at new installations.

For example, a 1 percentage point efficiency improvement in the European combined-cycle gas turbine CCGT fleet could save £430 million per year in fuel savings.

MR. SRIDHAR: The fact that you don't need the transmission-distribution lines, the fact that you don't have the transmission-distribution losses associated with that, the fact that our device can compete with a combined-cycle gas-turbine plant, which is about as clean as one can get from a fossil fuel, it means that net-net, we're going to be slightly better than even the best power plant because of the lack of grid infrastructure.
