| Description/Abstract | In 1967, Columbia Gas Transmission Corp. installed a 10,500-hp gas/steam turbine combined-cycle unit as a compressor driver on a pipeline at Ceredo, W.Va. In 1970 a similar unit, rated 12,500 hp, was installed in the same station. Both of these units were chosen because of their high efficiency relative to the basic gas turbines available at that time. In reviewing the selection, installation configuration, and operating record of these units, Columbia Gas and General Electric Co. point out that the very high thermal efficiency (about 35%) of the units offsets their complexity and high initial costs. Reliable operation of combined gas and steam turbine units can be achieved with careful attention to design detail and good power-boiler operating procedures. |
